- Description
- Tomintoul's Cognac Cask Finish begins in ex-bourbon before a secondary maturation in specially-selected Cognac casks at 40% ABV, creating a sweet and creamy Speyside profile. The nose carries chestnuts, lemon rind, honeyed florals, and amaretti; the palate develops choux pastry, cream, butterscotch, sugared almonds, and ginger. The Cognac influence adds fragrant sweetness and subtle oak spice while maintaining the distillery's refined, approachable character. An excellent introduction to cask-finished single malts for those who enjoy lighter, fruit-forward Speyside styles.
