Wholly matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks, this fine single malt imparts notes of warming spice and a sweet yet spicy long-lasting finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Tomintoul distillery is well-known for its laid-back expression (earning the nickname \"the gentle dram\"), it also produces a line of heavily-peated whiskies released under the Old Ballantruan name. This expression, launched in mid-2018, features smoky whisky which is not common of a Speyside.
