Tomintoul 2007 Bourbon Barrel - 65.7% 700ml Whisky

12 year old single malt from Tomintoul, drawn from a single bourbon barrel that was set down to slumber back in September 2007.

Fast-forward 12 years, and the cask was cracked open in January 2020, and 235 bottles were produced at a burly 65.7% ABV. A drop of water or two ought to help bring out some of the creamy, vanilla-rich notes.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Cigar box and freshly sawn oak. Citrus, heather honey and vanilla.

Palate: Exudes maturity. Initially dry but then opens up with a balance of cream and oaky spice.

Finish: Lingering spice in perfect balance with creamy sweetness.
