Tomintoul Cigar Malt Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 43% Age: No Age Statement Country: Scotland
Tomintoul distillery is built in the highest village in the highlands of Scotland and can sometimes be very hard to access due to the road being blocked with snow and ice in the winter. However hard it is to get here the storage facilities at Tomintoul are huge and boast a warehouse that can accomodate ten million litres of malt within the grounds. The water source is the local Ballantruan Spring and with this water they produce about 3,000,000 litres of spirit annually. The current owners are Angus Dundee plc and the distillery has four stills to produce the spirit. This spirit is mainly used and a very valuable contribution to Whyte and MacKay’s blends.
Tomintoul Cigar Malt is a rich, complex and robust Malt whisky specially created by our Master Distiller, Robert Fleming. Robert Fleming personally selected an intricate combination of Tomintoul single malts from specially selected vintages, which he has carefully balanced with some rare peated Tomintoul single malt. Each of these individual single malts has been either matured fully or finished in hand-selected Oloroso sherry butts, sourced from the partner bodegas in Andalucia, Spain. The Tomintoul Cigar Malt is also referred to as Tomintoul Cigar Malt Parejo, because it has been created to be the perfect ‘Parejo’ (Spanish for “partner”) to the world’s finest cigars. The rich and sweet oloroso sherry notes, creamy malt profile and gentle peat smoke make this single malt the perfect accompaniment to savour alongside your favourite cigar or just to appreciate and enjoy by itself. Bottled at 43% ABV
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Toasted oak smoke, stewed red fruits, freshly golden pan fried pancakes with maple syrup, ginger snaps, musty distillery floors.
Palate: Blackberry jam, milk chocolate, creamy malted barley, peppery oak and soft smoke.
Finish: Extremely long and very satisfying, the fruit and pepper mix to create a sweet spicy note, the smoky is subtle and well integrated. There’s hints of roasted coffee bean. This one’s chewy and delicious.
