Tomintoul's 17 Years Old Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask Finish, distilled in 2005, embarks on its aging journey within American ex-bourbon oak casks before undergoing a transformative finishing period. The finishing touch involves the choicest Pedro Ximénez Sherry butts sourced from Fernando de Castilla in Andalucía, Spain. This meticulous process marries the rich heritage of Sherry with Tomintoul Single Malt, resulting in a whisky of exceptional character and depth.
Tasting Note by Tomintoul:
Nose: Cinnamon, candied citrus peel, raisins, and a fruity, spicy flavour.
Palate: Rich fruitcake flavour, together with toasty spices, a little sweetness, and a hint of roasted hazelnuts.
Finish: Dryness and winter spices.
