The malt whisky was transferred from Bourbon casks into hand-picked Port pipes to “finish” its maturation for a generous period of time in order to further enrich and refine the whisky’s characteristics; most notably, the tones of fruity Port sweetness.

Tomintoul Master Distiller, Robert Fleming deemed that the time was right to bottle the whisky at 15 years of age when the malt whisky flavours had reached harmonious notes with the sweet attributes of the Port wood. 

The new expression has only 5820 bottles available with each bottle individually numbered.

Overall this Tomintoul 15 Year Old, Portwood Finish is a very approachable yet, complex whisky.

Bottled at 46%, this 15 year old is full-bodied and rich with lots of red-fruit notes.

Nose: Summer fruits, strawberries and blackberries tempered with some toffee sweetness and cigar box spiciness.

Palate: Lush clean malt modified by fruity sweet Port and some spicy oak tones.

Finish: Full and rich with lingering herbal spices and toffee sweetness.

Jim Murray has scored this Tomintoul 15yo Portwood Finish 94/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible, describing it as ‘So rare to find a wine finish which maximises the fruit to the full without allowing it to dominate. Charming and so clean.’
