Reviewed March 9, 2022It’s fine, like it’s good but.. just okay. 21 years old and just not complex at all. Genuinely enjoy it though and think it will do well in blinds on flavor along without the expectation of the cost and age -

Reviewed October 24, 2021 (edited November 1, 2021)Tomintoul is one of those classic super fruity Speysiders that i usually avoid, due to a lack of complexity and/or because they are sometimes a little boring. Having said that, i really had some expectations for this expression since it was a 21 year old single malt, and that guarantees you a certain level; not because 21 years in a cask are necessarily going to make a whisky better than any other, but really because distilleries tend to bottle their best spirits at older ages to offer something that really blows customer's minds. Well, let's see how this one went: Bottled at 40%abv, golden color. On the nose it is clean and very floral; Very perfumed. Definitively cherries and fruitcake. Freshly cut apples; Feels like an apple liquor but not sider. Cold fruitcake and fruit spices. After a first sip a solid note of butterscotch appeared along a dim burnt grass aroma. On the palate, honey can be detected easily. Old apples, hay. Very easy and smooth, way too soft. Dried peaches and a very accurate butterscotch hard candy note. Aftertaste is not very appealing, but not bad. Old burnt hay, dry grass, paper. There is a little bitter/tobacco finish, which is not very long. Overall, this was far away from been worthy of anyone's time. An enjoyable, overly easy drinkable whisky that lacks emotion. It is like a sweet butterscotch juice with the most regular aroma and tasting notes ever. Too safe, boring and not memorable, specially when you realize this is a 21yo single malt. It is not expensive at all and there is a reason for that: it is not very interesting. My score for it is 79 over 100.
