- Description
- Tomintoul's 16-year-old single malt from 2004 showcases the distillery's elegant Speyside character through an unconventional lens—matured in a Sauternes wine cask that imparts honeyed sweetness and stone fruit complexity. The wine cask influence dominates the palate, bringing dried apricot, golden honey, and subtle white wine characteristics that soften the spirit's natural floral notes. Expect a smooth, slightly viscous texture with lingering sweetness and wine-soaked oak. A single cask bottling of just 293 bottles, this suits collectors seeking Speyside refined through French wine influence.
