Tomintoul Single Highland Malt Whisky 18 Year Old · 1967 Vintage
In stock
A scarce older single cask bottle of Tomintoul. This Tomintoul-Glenlivet 18 year old is an interesting historical item. Distilled in 1967, three years after Tomintoul opened, the cask was exported to Ireland where it was matured in a bonded dunnage warehouse under 'ideal conditions' on a clay floor. This practise would now be illegal; all Scotch whisky must be distilled, matured, blended and bottled in Scotland.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with warm copper undertones and a honeyed, sunlit glow.
Nose
An elegant, aged bouquet of orchard fruit and honeyed vanilla, with pear and apricot hints above toasted almond and toffee. Dried raisin and sultana mingle softly, while warm oak and gentle spice frame subtle leather. A touch of earth and damp clay-warmed notes adds quiet depth, echoing the cask’s storied history.
Palate
Silky and poised on the palate, with delicate orchard fruit, ripe pear and honeyed malt. Layered notes of vanilla, toffee and toasted almond unfold, while oak contributes quiet spice—cinnamon with a hint of clove. A subtle sherry lift brings dried fruit, cocoa and a touch of leather, guiding to a long, refined finish that lingers with elegance, warmth, and understated complexity.
Finish
Silky, elongated finish with warm orchard fruit and toffee, layered by soft sherry sweetness. Dried fig and walnut mingle with gentle spice as the oak sighs away, leaving a refined, mineral-touched persistence that lingers long after the last sip.
