- Description
- This 1980s bottling of Tomintoul's 8-year-old single malt captures a snapshot of the distillery's house style from an earlier era, presented in a distinctive art-deco labeled bottle. The Speyside character would have developed steadily in oak over nearly four decades of storage, though the original spirit profile remains true to Tomintoul's trademark. A nostalgia piece for whisky historians and collectors of Scottish whisky heritage.
