- Description
- Tomintoul's 17-year-old distilled prior to 1969 and bottled in the 1980s captures Speyside whisky from a quieter era of Scottish production. The extended maturation in wood has softened the spirit's edges, developing orchard fruit, honey, and subtle spice while maintaining the distillery's characteristic gentle character. An archival whisky best appreciated by those with interest in Speyside's pre-modern evolution and the house style of distillery bottlings from that period.
