Tomintoul Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask Finish Speyside Single [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that showcases the magic of Pedro Ximénez sherry finishing?

Tomintoul Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask Finish represents Master Distiller Robert Fleming’s artful approach to small batch bottling, where traditional Speyside character meets the rich sweetness of Andalucían sherry casks. This expression from Scotland’s “Gentle Dram” distillery offers exceptional value compared to premium alternatives like Tomintoul’s 16-year expression or Kavalan’s Oloroso Sherry Oak.
