The Last Drop Distillers: 55YO Tomintoul Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1968( (Sherry Butt)
Regular price €7,700.00THE TOMINTOUL DISTILLERY LOCATED between Ballindalloch and Tomintoul, is a classic Speyside distillery, and the source of elegant, complex distillates. Our oldest single malt scotch whisky to date, this whisky was born on 11th November 1968, when the Tomintoul Distillery was less than four years old. Founded by Glasgow whisky traders Hey & Macleod and W. & S. Strong, it was originally equipped with just one wash still and one spirit still, and production began only a year later.
Fast forward to March 2022, and the spirit from these six casks graduated, before disappearing again for a further period of maturation in an Amoroso butt for a final 20 months. A process that added new layers of complexity, a deep golden amber colour, rich and sweet dark fruits, a gentle floral fragrance and a spicy aftertaste. A result that is as limited in quantity as it is remarkable in quality.
