This is the 16-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from the Tomintoul distillery, matured in selected bourbon casks. It was crafted by fourth-generation distiller, Robert Fleming and it's his go-to malt to this day. Rather elegant and flavoursome, this one.
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 fudge.
Notes of boiled sweets, espresso, mochaccino, ground almonds and granary toast with melted butter. Vanilla fudge and thick cream.
The finish is of good length with notes almond and barley sugar.

The worst 16 I ever tasted. Anonimous.
Tried the 10 year old when last I was in Moray. Liked it; and wanted to buy another. Baxters only had the 16yo so got that instead. Absolutely delicious! Not heavy, sweet and rolls around the mouth beautifully. The previous reviewer must have had a curry for his birthday meal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was given a bottle for my 26th birthday, I am a massive fan of spey whiskeys, single malts and have been for years. In my opinion (as this is a review and i am being honest), this is by far one of the worst from the spey area, to me it was sour with an off flavour that I can only describe as fishy. Everyone I have shared it with also tells me there is something off about it and rejected when i offered them more. I would seriously question the recommendations of anyone who enjoys this whiskey. Be warned.
Lovely and smooth. Leaves the mouth tasting like honey.
Apple cider review... You have no fuckin clue. I have been a heavy drinker of whisky all my life and this dram is amoungst the best. Crawl back under your stone you pathetic excuse for an ape.
