A gentle Speysider from the beautiful heart of the Cairngorms National Park, Tomintoul distillery has been producing award-winning malts since 1964. The spirit makes up a critical component of the famous Whyte & Mackay blend, but Tomintoul distillery also has a popular line-up of core range releases. This single cask example started off as an american white oak ex-bourbon barrel and was then finished for over 2 years in a first-fill Marsala wine barrique. Marsala is a fortified dessert wine from the region surrounding the Sicilian town of Marsala, Italy. Made from Grillo, Inzolia, Catarratto and Damaschino grape varieties, Marsala has a dark reddish brown colour which has given this 7 year old Tomintoul a beautiful golden-brown hue.

Nose: fresh peaches, honey and candied ginger.

Palate: orange peel, toffee and white pepper.

Finish: citrus and roasted oak
