Tomintoul Cognac Cask Finish
$87.99
Cognac Cask Finish. Might be intriguing! Shame about the 40%, though. These accountant-strength bottlings that Tomintoul and owners Angus Dundee seem to be enamoured with could use a slight shift upwards. No need to make "The Gentle Dram" too gentle.
Producer Description
"Our Master Distiller, Robert Fleming, 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."

Tomintoul 12 Year Port Wood
$80.99
My Tasting Note: Nose: mulled wine, wet leather, dark chocolate shavings and cooked raisins; floral heather-honey-and undertones of American oak can be found below the port notes; Palate: very earthy-musty, like a Dunnage floor warehouse; medium dark chocolate notes are present but a little thin; faint tannins, shoe leather, candied fruits and more mulled wine emerge in this relatively dark palate; Finish: drying with a little bit of spice, the chocolate, fruits and everything but the leathery tannins and oak have faded away.

Tomintoul 17 Year Pedro Ximenez Sherry
$264.99
It's a good time to be a Tomintoul fan (assuming such peeople exist). The distillery has never really cask much of a shadow here, but we are seeing an incredible range of releases available all of a sudden. Better still, a range that spans all ages and a whole load of unique expressions. If you're not a Tomintoul person, maybe now is the time to dive in. Truly an underappreciated whisky.
Producer Note: "Our 17 Years Old Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask Finish was distilled in 2005 and matured initially in American ex-bourbon oak casks before being finished in the finest Pedro Ximénez Sherry butts from Fernando de Castilla in Andalucía, Spain. These sherry butts perfectly complement Tomintoul Single Malt by imparting rich fruit flavours, which enhance the character and complexity of our whisky."
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46%.

$3,199.99
This 1972 vintage Tomintoul has been bottled under the Private Collection range by Gordon & MacPhail, at 43%, after maturing 48 years in a Refill Hogshead Cask. This is a curious malt, by all accounts, with the exception of a 50 year old Samaroli bottling, it is the oldest Tomintoul ever bottled!
