The quarter cask does a lot of work here. Smaller casks mean more wood contact, and it shows in how deep the flavours run. Dark chocolate truffle and maple pecan lead the palate, spiced sultana and roasted nuts building towards a coffee note that carries into the finish. It ends warm, baking spice and chocolate-coated coffee beans lingering well after the glass is empty. Fourteen years and a PX quarter cask finish add up to a properly dense, satisfying dram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeat, after dinner, with time to sit and unwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlongside coffee-based desserts or dark chocolate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne for the collection if you like tracking distillation years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Tomintoul's usually the softer, gentler Speyside malt, so it's interesting to see what a PX quarter cask does to that character. It doesn't lose the characteristic softness, it just adds a lot of dark fruit and spice on top. There's a sumptuous sweet richness to this that is ever-so-satisfying.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTomintoul Distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e began in 1965 and is based in the Cairngorms National Park in Speyside, Scotland. It is the highest village in the highlands surrounded by outstanding natural beauty.
