- Description
- Tomintoul's first age-stated expression showcases Speyside's peated side through heavily charred barley, bottled at a robust 50% ABV. Expect dense smoke and earth with underlying orchard fruits and honey notes, the peat tempered by vanilla from ex-bourbon casks. The mouthfeel is full and warming, with a lingering smoky finish that never turns harsh. A benchmark for those seeking peat-forward character without sacrificing Speyside's natural sweetness.
