- Description
- Distilled at Tomintoul in 2008 and aged for 15 years, this single malt spent its final months finishing in tawny Port casks, a choice made by master distiller Robert Fleming to add complexity and depth. The initial bourbon barrel maturation provides a foundation of vanilla and orchard fruit, while the Port finish introduces dried fruit, caramel, and subtle spiced notes that linger on the palate. At 46% ABV and bottled without chill filtration or colour adjustment, the whisky retains its natural character and oily texture. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to explore the interplay between spirit and cask influence.
