1981 Tomintoul Single Cask 32 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

We have received a single bottle drawn from a tiny Sherry cask (filled in October 1981) resulting in 180 bottles of natural strength Tomintoul. It's also non chill-filtered. Notes from the distillery suggest a lush and ripe malt with sweet butterscotch and vanilla tones culminating in a surge of oaky spice. One only to sell. 50.5% Alc./Vol.

Tomintoul (pronounced "Tom-in-to'owl") has been owned and operated by Angus Dundee Distillers since 2000. Up until a few years ago less than 2-3% of Tomintoul's output was bottled as single malt, the rest making its way into blends like Whyte & McKay. Clearly the distillery is capable of some serious whiskies - the 33 year old was chosen as best Speyside whisky of 2010 in the Whiskymag World Whiskies Awards. On another note, the year before, Tomintoul entered the Guinness Book of Records by producing the largest bottle of whisky in the world at 105.3 litres! They also remain one of the few Speyside producers to delve into heavily peated styles.
