The Tomintoul 15 Year Old Portwood Finish Limited Edition is a distinguished single malt whisky from the Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet distillery, situated in the picturesque Glenlivet Estate within Cairngorms National Park. Named after the highest village in the Highlands, the Tomintoul distillery has been creating exceptional whiskies since 1964, offering both non-peated and peated expressions. This particular release, aged for 15 years, is a limited edition with only 5820 bottles available, making it a true collector's item.
This whisky has undergone a special finishing process in hand-selected Port pipes, originally used to age port wine in Portugal. These long, slender casks contribute to the whisky’s unique sweet and fruity flavor profile. The master distiller meticulously transferred mature whisky from bourbon casks into these Port pipes, allowing the whisky to absorb the rich, sweet nuances of the port wine over a generous period.
Bottled in 2016 at 46% ABV, the Tomintoul 15 Year Old Portwood Finish is characterized by its rich and complex flavor profile. Expect notes of toffee, malt, spices, and oak, complemented by the sweet fruit aromas derived from the Port pipes. The water used in the whisky is sourced from the pristine Ballantruan Spring, further enhancing its purity and quality. Presented in a 700ml bottle, this limited edition whisky is a testament to the craftsmanship and tradition upheld by the Tomintoul distillery.

The Tomintoul 15 Year Old Portwood Finish Limited Edition has received mixed reviews. While many appreciate its pleasant port maturation and complexity, some find it slightly thin and lacking in lasting impression. It starts with a sweet and soft mouthfeel, developing into a more peppery and spicy finish. The nose is generally described as sweet and fruity with notes of red berries, light tobacco, and vanilla. The taste is silky and full-bodied, with red fruits and oak spice, though it gets drier over time. The finish is short to medium, with lingering sweetness and a hint of bitterness. Overall, it is considered a good whisky, especially for fans of port finishes, but some feel it could offer more depth.
