Tomintoul 14 Years Old PX SHERRY QUARTER CASK Finish 2009 46% Vol. 0,7l in gift box

Description

The Tomintoul distillery, located in the Scottish Highland Park in the Cairngorms National Park and named after the nearby village of Tomintoul, opened its doors in 1964 and is now owned by Angus Dundee Distillers.

At 370 metres above sea level, Tomintoul is the second highest distillery in Scotland, surpassed only by Braeval Distillery, which was founded in 1973. Although the majority of the 3.2 million litres of alcohol produced annually is exported to the United States for blends, Tomintoul continues to bring special single cask bottlings to the market.

This limited edition single malt from the Tomintoul distillery in Speyside, which was distilled in 2009, matured for 14 years and underwent a carefully coordinated maturation process. After initially being stored in American oak bourbon casks, it was then matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry quarter casks, selected and supervised by master distiller Robert Fleming.

This second maturation phase gave the whisky a special depth and complexity in its flavour profile. Finally, the single malt was produced without the addition of colouring agents or chill-filtration, which emphasises its natural purity and authenticity. This combination of traditional production and innovative maturation makes this whisky a special experience for connoisseurs.
