Tomintoul Chairman's Stock Whisky 26 Year Old · 1985 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and copper-gold highlights, a warm, sun-burnished hue.

Nose

Sherry-draped aromas lead with plush fig, raisin and orange zest, harmonized by honeyed vanilla and toffee. Oak spice—cinnamon, clove—and a whisper of cacao emerge as the nose deepens, yielding a rich, warm, velvety impression.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the tongue, delivering dried fig and raisin with orange zest, deepened by sherry. Rich toffee, dark chocolate and walnut weave through the fruit as cinnamon and clove spark warmth. Supremely velvety texture with a long, nutty cocoa finish and a gentle, lingering heat from the high ABV.

Finish

An enduring, warm finish of sherry richness unfurls with dried fruits—fig, raisin, and date—softly entwined with dark chocolate and toasted almond. Cinnamon and clove spice weave through orange zest, kissed by a touch of oak. The 55.6% presence lingers gracefully, a velvety warmth fading slowly and inviting the next refined sip.
