Tomintoul 16 Year

A really nice easy drinker, not overly complex but a good dram with some age on it. A great one to introduce your friends to if they are new to whisky, l do really like this though. Nose-Medium bodied and punchy. There are notes of stemmy cut hay and dried grasses, a leafy green note and a touch of rooty earth and sweet fudge. Palate-Notes of boiled sweets, espresso, mochaccino, ground almonds and granary toast with melted butter. Vanilla fudge and thick cream. Finish-The finish is of good length with notes almond and barley sugar.

Mellow and smooth over a pepper spirit.

Nose: Prunes, Clag glue, Palatte: After the initial weak 40% abv it was puting my tongue on a battery Finish: Short and chemical aftertaste

The nose starts off a little sharp, full of straw and barley sugar, charred oak and some slightly creamy undertones. It quickly mellows out, revealing ripe fruit and green apple. Very classic Speyside. The palate is very smooth, sending a wave of straw and charred oak across the tongue, along with slight hints of black pepper. It remains quite subtle, without much of the fruit notes coming across. The finish is medium short, with everything fading rather quickly. While it isn't bad, it just isn't memorable.
