Descripción

The Tomintoul distillery, located in the Scottish Highlands 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 meters 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 liters of alcohol produced annually is exported to the United States for blends, Tomintoul continues to bring special single cask bottlings to the market.

The Tomintoul Madeira Cask Finish is a smooth and finely balanced single malt whisky that is first matured in American bourbon oak casks. It is then finished for two years in fortified wine casks from the Portuguese island of Madeira, which gives it its unique depth and complexity. This special post-maturing process gives the whisky intense aromas of juicy fruit, delicate oatmeal cookies and spicy cake, which blend harmoniously together and offer a well-rounded taste experience.
