Tomintoul Cognac Cask Finish - 40% 70cl

Tomintoul Master Distiller, Robert Fleming has created this small batch bottling by specially selecting Tomintoul aged in exceptional ex-bourbon American oak barrels, which are then married & finished in hand selected Cognac casks from France.

The process of ‘finishing’ creates a beautifully rich, complex & full flavoured single malt scotch whisky.

The classic, typically sherry-centred Speyside single malt – but not as you know it! Instead it’s been finished in ex-Cognac casks for a fruiter vibe.

Soft, mouth-watering, and absolutely a dram to explore if you want to dig into the impact of finishing on flavour.

Nose: Light and lifted with aromas of chestnut, lemon rind, blossom honey and amaretti biscuits with hints of chamomile and fennel.

Palate: Sweet choux pastry and Chantilly cream mingled with sugared almonds, butterscotch, golden raisins and rolling tobacco.

Finish: Layers of white chocolate, panettoni and nutmeg fading into warming ginger spices.
