- Description
- Matured in an ex-Cognac cask and bottled at 53.3% ABV in August 2021, this 1977 Tomintoul represents 44 years of development in wood that previously held fine brandy. The Cognac cask would have imparted subtle fruit esters and dried stone fruit character to Tomintoul's typically clean, approachable Speyside base. The higher strength preserves the cask influence without dilution. This single cask expression suits those seeking the marriage of distillery character and distinctive wood influence.
