Professional reviews

BOW (90)

This 30 Year Old Tomintoul Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the 2nd Edition bottling specially selected
by Robert Fleming to commemorate his 30th year as custodian of Tomintoul Distillery.
A unique and full-bodied single malt, it has a depth and richness of flavour that has developed
over 30 years of maturation in the fresh, pure air of the Cairngorm Mountains.
This specially selected single malt spent its first 29 years maturing in American Bourbon casks before
being finished in an antique Pedro Ximénez Sherry butt, which was hand-selected by Robert Fleming
in Jerez, Spain, for its final year. The cask yielded exactly 700 bottles at 51.1% alc/vol.

Taste
Rich layers of dried fruit and mincemeat
pies coupled with mellow heather honey,
marzipan, maple syrup and baking spices.
Finish
Luxurious and warming with soft prunes,
dried figs and coffee grounds fading.
