Tomintoul 16 Year Old 2004 Limited Edition - 46% 70cl - #4530/5094

Tomintoul Distillery built in 1965, within the picturesque Cairngorms National Park.

Tomintoul Sauternes Cask Finish was distilled in 2004 and matured initially in ex bourbon American oak casks before being finished in French oak casks which previously contained Sauternes wine to add depth and complexity with stone fruits, honey, marmalade and spice.

The finished whisky is elegant and intricate, bottled at natural colour and non-chill filtered.

Nose: Fragrant aromas of yellow fruits and orange marmalade mingled with ruby grapefruit, lemon drizzle cake and honeysuckle.

Palate: Tangy and sweet with layers of acacia honey, dried papaya and Galia melon bound with sweet choux pastry, cardamom and soft tobacco spices.

Finish: Lemon curd and apricot jam fading into a cinnamon, baked apple and toasted oak linger.
