Tomintoul Seiridh Whisky

Seen this, and thought I just had to try it. Sadly it didn't live up to expectations, the reviews, or any previous Tomintoul I've had. Had a few friends round, and they unfortunately agreed with me. Not an awful whisky, but uninspiring, and bland. Mere hints of the tasting notes, not a patch on any Glen Farclas, and as such, just sat on a shelf, and left.

Gentle dram with nice sweet taste from the sherry casks. If you are not a peat fan try this one...

Bought this as a wild card. Given that I seem to prefer this flavour profile, I was on fairly safe ground.
The price helps too!
Spicy start, fruity finish, with or without a splash of water. Easy on the palate, nice warming afterglow.

Tomintoul Seridh (sherry) - not much sherry influence to the eye, on the nose or to taste but, that said, this is a decent version of Tomintoul at a fair price. A Glendronach it is not but it is a sherry finish for a few months rather than having been matured for the whole time in sherry casks. It is a smooth, fruity whisky with a long sweet finish and I must say that I have enjoyed every dram so far.
