Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

Score: 92 Points

This Tomintoul single malt is matured in Oloroso Sherry casks and designed to complement a cigar, but you don’t need one to enjoy it. The nose has touches of dark fruits, molasses, and a gentle kiss of smoke. The taste has a slightly dry mouthfeel and notes of plums, figs, molasses, and a touch of smoke. The finish is long with subtle fruits and a hint of smoke.
