Description
The Tomintoul distillery, located in the Scottish Highland Park in the Cairngorms National Park and named after the nearby village of Tomintoul, opened its doors in 1964 and is now owned by Angus Dundee Distillers.
At 370 metres above sea level, Tomintoul is the second highest distillery in Scotland, surpassed only by Braeval Distillery, which was founded in 1973. Although the majority of the 3.2 million litres of alcohol produced each year is exported to the United States for blends, Tomintoul continues to bring special single cask bottlings to the market.
Seiridh, pronounced “sheh-ree,” is the Gaelic word for sherry. This perfectly balanced single malt is first matured in American bourbon casks, which gives it its basic structure and initial flavours, before being finished in carefully selected Oloroso sherry butts from Jerez in Andalusia, Spain, which gives it its special sherry notes. This exclusive bottling is limited to 6,000 bottles worldwide.
