Tomintoul 12 Year Old 2007 (cask 11574) – Bourbon Barrel Matured

12 year old single malt from Tomintoul, drawn from a single bourbon barrel that was set down to slumber back in September 2007. Fast-forward 12 years, and the cask was cracked open in January 2020, and 235 bottles were produced at a burly 65.7% ABV. A drop of water or two ought to help bring out some of the creamy, vanilla-rich notes.
