Master Distiller Robert Fleming, who personally selected the whisky to create the outstanding Tomintoul Aged 40 Years Old Second Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, said: “As one of just a few single malt Scotch whiskies still lovingly produced by hand, we take great pride in our Tomintoul expressions, using traditional techniques that stretch back hundreds of years.

“Having carefully checked each remaining cask resting from this time period, we were able to select the perfect Scotch to create this rare second release.

“A delicate but disarmingly complex expression, the 40-year-old’s prestige is matched in the presentation, beautifully bestowed hand-crafted crystal decanters.”

The remarkable Tomintoul Aged 40 Years Second Edition displays a rich, fruity sweetness, perfectly balanced with gentle notes of oak spice and rolling tobacco. The finish is warming and long with lingering notes of chocolate, cinnamon and toasted oak.
