Tomintoul Tarn Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

High in the Cairngorms, small mountain lochs called tarns have developed due to glacial movement. The name comes from the old Norse word “tjorn” meaning pond, and some of these spring water lochs have existed for over 10,000 years, since the last ice age. Many tarns are surrounded by ancient peat. It is this peat influence that shapes the smoky, sweet and earthy character of Tomintoul Tarn. The whisky is reportedly a step up in intensity from most of the other distillery expressions. The one-litre bottle means there's more to enjoy. 40% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the producers... Nose: Peat forward with whiffs of campfire smoke and burnt heather that open up into aromas of honey and orchard fruits. Palate: Smoky and sweet with layers of peat smoke, boiled sweets, vanilla pod and hints of soft liquorice. Finish: A nice balance of fireplace soot and vanilla cake that leaves a long sweet and smoky linger.
