Tomintoul Very Rare Highland Malt Whisky 30 Year Old · 1973 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Opulent sherry richness blankets the nose, with dried figs, dates, and plum mingling with orange zest and dark chocolate. Warm spices — cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove — drift over toasted almond, toffee, and polished oak, finishing with a velvet, aged-wine sweetness and a whisper of leather.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate with opulent dried fruit—fig and raisin—lifted by orange zest and soft toffee. Cocoa richness and warm spice mingle into a velvety finish, with nutty notes and a refined, lingering oak from the sherry cask.

Finish

Long, graceful finish that coats the palate with polished oak, dried fruit and a whisper of spice. Orange zest and toffee linger, slowly fading into a warm, velvety glow.
