Old Ballantruan, 50% abv, Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky

700 ml, 50% abv, Scotland (Speyside)

Produced at Tomintoul Distillery, “Old Ballantruan” Single Malt Scotch Whisky is one of only a handful of heavily peated malt whiskies from the Speyside region.

After maturing for many years in hand-picked oak barrels, this whisky was bottled at 50% abv, non- chillfiltered, to retain its layered and integrated peaty / smoky flavours. It has a peating level of 30 ppm.

“The finish is vibrant and long with a lovely combination of the obvious smokiness, sweet caramel, vanilla and some wood spice”

“This  is a stunning example of the work being done at the Tomintoul distillery”
