Tomintoul 1995/2025 30 Year Old 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt #6 Signatory Symington's Choice (70cl, 50.7%)

A 30-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from the Tomintoul distillery in Speyside, distilled in May 1995 and bottled in May 2025 by Signatory Vintage for Symington's Choice within the Cask Strength Collection. It matured in a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, cask #6, and was bottled at 50.7% without chill filtration or colouring. The outturn was 565 bottles, presented in a metal tin. The Oloroso maturation brings dark sherry sweetness alongside increasingly dry, mature contours: dried fruit and sweet pastry notes are followed by leather, oak spice and fine tannins. On the nose there are dried figs, raisins, nougat, toffee and fruit cake, with leather, dark chocolate and old oak spice. The palate combines dark honey, cinnamon, roasted hazelnuts, mocha, bitter chocolate and ripe plum, with tobacco leaf and oak spice. The finish is long, warming and elegantly dry, with sherry notes, vanilla, fine oak tannins and spicy dark fruit.
