Tomintoul 16yo Sauternes Cask Finish 2004 (46%)

The Tomintoul distillery has been able to use a number of Sauternes wine barrels to make a special "Limited Edition". This Tomintoul whisky was distilled in 2004 and initially put in ex-Bourbon barrels. After this, the whisky was put in the Sauternes casks to give extra depth and complexity to the taste.
