Special Features:

Tomintoul Amarone Wine Cask Finish combines initial maturation in American oak ex-bourbon casks with a finishing period in Italian Amarone wine casks. Master Distiller Robert Fleming selected matured Tomintoul whiskies, which were married before the finish. This small-batch bottling brings together fruity impressions, baked treats, creamy dessert notes and spice.

The Amarone release was introduced alongside the Madeira and Tempranillo finishes as an extension of the Contemporary Cask Finish Collection. All three single malts carry no age statement and were bottled at 40%. Their different wine finishes complement a shared initial maturation in ex-bourbon casks.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: On the nose, cherry crumble and sultanas mingle with baking spices. Subtle hints of oat biscuits and cocoa add to the aromas.
  • Palate: The palate offers a summer-fruit dessert, raspberry coulis, ginger biscuits and salted caramel. Creamy panna cotta and cedarwood spice complement these impressions.
  • Finish: The finish is long and warming. Honey, porridge with raisins, pink pepper and chocolate cherry liqueur linger on the tongue.

Distillery/Bottler:

Founded in 1965, Tomintoul Distillery is situated in Speyside within the Cairngorms National Park, close to the village of the same name. It uses soft water from the Ballantruan spring and tall stills to make its whisky. Robert Fleming is a fourth-generation member of a family of Speyside distillers and, together with his team, oversees the production of Tomintoul single malts.

The distillery has belonged to Angus Dundee Distillers since August 2000, when they acquired it from Whyte & Mackay. Fleming and other long-serving team members were part of this change of ownership and continue to work on the distillery's development. In the Contemporary Cask Finish Collection, the deliberate selection of different wine casks broadens the Tomintoul brand's repertoire.
