HKW "Old Master Q Series" Tomintoul 2005 16 Years Old 1st Fill Sherry Hogshead Cask Strength, Speyside Scottish Whisky 700ml

Tomintoul’s backstory is an interesting contradiction. Their distillery began with only a pair of stills yet landed in the Guinness World Record by creating the world’s largest bottle of whisky in 2009 that stands 1.5m high with a capacity of 105.3L. That is enough to hold 150 standard bottles! This amazing feat showed the world they were capable of big things and made Tomintoul a household name in the world of whisky. They were commonly used in a wide variety of blended whiskies but began produce some beautiful single malts too after ownership moved away from Whyte and Mackay in 2000.

Like many distilleries, Tomintoul's name comes from the village where they are located. However, an official government report in 1797 recorded that all 37 families within the town were involved in the whisky trade, unofficially making Tomintoul one big whisky family!

OMQ Series II “Free For Yum Cha?” Tomintoul 2005 is a gorgeous 16 years single barrel matured in a new Spanish oak hogshead. The larger than life character is shown with this cask strength release. The bottle artwork shows a humorous OMQ comic depicting Old Master Q & Big Potato enjoying every Hong Konger’s favourite hotpot with a giant twist!
