Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What makes a Speyside whisky truly exceptional after sixteen years of patient maturation?

Tomintoul 16 Years represents the pinnacle of Speyside craftsmanship from Scotland’s highest distillery, nestled in the breathtaking Cairngorms National Park. Known as “The Gentle Dram,” this award-winning expression has earned gold medals across international competitions, including the prestigious World Whiskies Awards 2021. Unlike the robust intensity found in expressions like Aberlour A’bunadh’s cask strength power or Benromach’s distinctive character, Tomintoul delivers refined elegance through extended aging.
