Tomintoul 2005 17 Year Old, Pedro Ximenez Cask

The Tomintoul Single Malt Whisky is a testament to their Master Distiller; Robert Fleming, whose family has been making whisky in the Speyside-Glenlivet region for four generations.

He has carefully selected the finest Pedro Ximenez sherry butts from Fernando de Castilla in Andalucia, Spain to finish Tomintoul Single Malt, distilled in 2005, and initially matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks. The Fernando de Castilla Pedro Ximenez Sherry butts perfectly complement Tomintoul Single Malt imparting rich fruit flavours, which enhance the character and complexity of the whisky.

Tasting notes:
Nose: A rich bouquet of prunes and sweet spices married with treacle, dates and toasted oak.

Palate: Sweet and robust with layers of maple syrup candied nuts, marmalade, salted caramel and chocolate ganache with cosy cinnamon and clove spices.

Finish: Warming and long with notes of brittle toffee and cacao fading into a dried fig and espresso coffee glow.
