Old Ballantruan 15 Year Old (2018) 70cl
Old Ballantruan 15 Years Old is peat rich and exceptionally smooth Speyside peated single malt. 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.
While 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. Reception has been very well received amongst those who have heard of this very under marketed brand.
Angus Dundee distillers have been in operation through Glencadam and Tomintoul for almost 200 years.
