Tomintoul Single Malt Scotch Whisky has announced the launch of two limited-edition cask finishes, Tomintoul 14-year-old Cognac Cask Finish and Tomintoul 15-year-old Madeira Cask Finish.
The Tomintoul 14-year-old Cognac Cask Finish (RSP £97) was distilled in 2009 and finished in casks handpicked in France. Limited to 8,082 individually numbered bottles, its flavour profile is sweet and nutty with aromas of almond flan, baked in apricots, vanilla and cedarwood, and mingled with dark chocolate and pink peppercorn.
A total of 6,654 individually numbered bottles of the Tomintoul 15-year-old Madeira Cask Finish (RSP £110) are available, with the single malt initially matured in ex-bourbon American oak before being finished in specially selected Madeira wine casks. Distilled in 2008, the expression is sweet and rich, with aromas of butterscotch, maple syrup and brambles, cushioned by ground coffee and dark chocolate.
Both expressions are bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered at natural colour.
Established in 1965, Tomintoul Distillery sits in the Cairngorms National Park, within the whisky producing region of Speyside.
