Tomintoul Peaty Tang

Words cannot express how much worse this is than the 10. 0.25 is generous.

Tastes like a cheap blended Scotch that's half the price. Islay Mist?

Gets worse the more I drink it. It tastes like the moderately not awful component of Islay Mist. The horror. The price.

Overpriced. Peat for those who find Islay over the top, which isn't a bad thing. But the rest of it just doesn't stand up to the Tomintoul lineup. Disappointed that such a thin, boring whisky was released, this is not worthy.

I bought a bunch of Tomintoul 5cl miniature bottles, and of course i started my journey with the peaty expression. This speyside whisky is marketed as a dram that has a "peaty tang". Bottled at 40%abv, gold color. On the nose, pretty interesting. Apples, vanilla custard, Stinky peat and Pears. Mud, a cheap citric note; wet grass. Cloth softener. Fruity and peaty. After a first sip it gave me apple pie and mostly pears. It feels herbal, peaty and fruity. On the palate, it is dim, very light. Pear, apples, slight pepper, slight saltiness. It is a very light whisky. Aftertaste is one of the shortest i have ever tasted. A little salty, very watery. Very dim spiciness. Almost no aftertaste. There is some peaty nice flavor after the third sip, but it lasts one second. Overall, this whisky is exactly as drinking a peaty pear juice, it lacks body, it lacks personality, and it is too light. I think the aroma is nice, but the rest is nothing. My score for it is 69 over 100.
