Tomintoul 2015/2025 10 Year Old 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Cask #82/2015 Cask Masters Brave New Spirits (70cl, 55.3%)

A 10-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from Tomintoul, distilled on 26 January 2015 and bottled on 13 March 2025 by Brave New Spirits as a Distiller's Cut within the Cask Masters series. It spent its final 30 months in first-fill Oloroso sherry barrique cask #82/2015, and was bottled at 55.3% without chill filtration or colouring. The outturn was 205 bottles. Cherry, walnut and toffee give the sherry finish a fruity and nutty side, while thyme and other herbal notes add a spicy counterpoint. The nose combines walnuts and toffee with a hint of dark cherries and thyme. The palate is creamy and powerful, with roasted nuts, cherry compote and caramel sweets accompanied by a fine herbal note. The medium-long to long finish leaves toffee and dried fruit, with a gentle, slightly spicy herbal trace fading slowly.
