Tomintoul Tlàth

I found this smooth and easy drinking but a bit bland and uninteresting.

This is a firm favourite. Good entry whisky packing a full house of flavours. Very good with a touch of water. However, remember it is a value for money product which falls slightly short of the established malts.

Very smooth and tasty and for the price a good whisky to drink and enjoy

A really light, smooth and easily drinkable malt. Perfect introduction to the delights of whisky drinking. Tomintoul is known as the gentle dram and this is an excellent example

In my opinion an above average dram. Smooth and light. Not comparable to Glenfiddich or Glenmorangie but I would recommend as a good introduction to malt whisky at a very good price.

I recently posted a review stating 'Best value for money, EVER!'
Well, it is still good value, but then, possibly foolishly, I took it upon myself to have a tasting alongside a Glenfiddich 15 Old Solero; Glenlivet 18; a Glenmorangie 18 and a Hibiki Master's Select (which you can sadly no longer get). I'm afraid to say this paled next to the others - it's so very light 'Gentle' doesn't come close, and comparing Speyside against Speyside, maybe I shouldn't compare it to the 18-year-olds at three times the price, but the Glenfiddich 15 is certainly worth paying the extra for.

A very enjoyable whiskey, is amazingly smooth and very drinkable. Pleasantly surprised for the price

I bought a bottle of this as I wanted something cheap for when the kids were stressing me out rather than draining my nicer and far more expensive bottles. If you're a fan of Speyside whiskies as I am, you'll love this. On first taste it's very light, but, frankly, that's about the worst thing I can say about it. For the cost of this, I dare you to find something better for anywhere near this price - and it's that value that makes this 5 stars for me.

Lovely warm sweet taste. Smooth with the hints of vanilla. Would recommend this as a good starter whisky. Easy to drink more than planned

This is a great entry level whisky, a good intro to Scotch if you will but may be disappointed to more seasoned drinkers of this extraordinary spirit. Not a very complex dram, nose is vanilla cake frosting or maybe vanilla ice cream with a caramel drizzle hint of honeycomb as well as a very slight soapy note that lets you know it is young. The palate is about the same with maybe a slight hint of raisin on the finish.Wouldn't really recommend adding water to this it's already a little thin considering it's bottled at 40%. An interesting alternative to the very fruit heavy palate of Glenlivet or Fiddich 12 years being just as smooth and a little cheaper as well.I'd probably take this over Tomintoul 10 year considering the price difference is pretty significant here in California. Good dram for the price very easy to drink. The Sugarbear
