Tomintoul Distillery has recently released its first ever single cask edition of its award-winning malt range;Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet Single Malt Bourbon Cask - Vintage 1981.
This rare single cask release has been bottled in an opulent clear glass 70cl decanter style bottle, and is presented in an elegant gift box. The whisky was distilled on the 30th of October 1981 and has matured ever since in bourbon cask number 5985.
This cask was selected for the exceptional quality of the mature malt whisky therein. Bottled in February 2013 at 53.9% ABV, the whisky is deliberately un-chillfiltered. Only 198 bottles have been produced and each bottle has been individually numbered. The bottle label also records the cask number and the date of distillation and bottling.
