This was reracked into an Oloroso Sherry Hogshead in 2020 and left to further mature for 3 years before being bottled in 2023. The Oloroso Sherry has lifted the final spirit, adding an additional sweetness to the palate.
This gentle Speysider has seen nearly two decades of aging after being distilled at Tomintoul. Aged in Oloroso Hogshead, we are confident you will love the unique flavors and characteristics this exceptional release has to offer. As one of the highest distilleries in Scotland, Tomintoul is located at an elevation of around 1,150 feet (350 meters) above sea level on the Glenlivet Estate. The higher altitude and the clean, fresh mountain air are believed to influence the whisky's maturation process.
