A gentle 12 year old from the Tomintoul distillery. This was matured in Oloroso sherry casks.
The nose is quite light and well-balanced. There are notes of chewy oak with a toasty feel, notes of sherried peels and sultanas, cut hay and malt extract and a touch of barley sugar. The palate is of medium-body. There are notes of winter berries and blackcurrant preserve, notes of gentle, thin smoke with notes of malt extract and crisp barley sugar with toasty cereals and a soft honey. The finish is of medium-length and well-balanced with a refined subtlety.
The taste is quite new to me and I loved it. Easy to drink as well.
Totally loved it. Managed to find another one. Starting now. (missed the rating)
1st time tasted it. Quite good for the price.
I liked it.
Enjoyed it.
