Pronounced 'Tlah', Tlàth means gentle and/or mellow. With Tomintoul known as 'the gentle dram', this particular expression is along the same easy-going Speysider lines and is matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels.
Quintessentially Speyside. Light, with some sweet toffee and vanilla and hints of mint leaf and citrus peel.
Light and creamy. Lively white pepper and some oak-driven spiciness dance on the tongue with background layers of nutmeg and toasted vanilla.
Spicy with notes of shortbread and fresh mint.
Im no stranger to Tomintoul and have tried a few differing releases from the distillery would say this one has easily surpassed the others for me in both flavour and cost-just superb. Its delicate, flavoursome, smooth, sweet and dangerously moreish. Its right at the top of my whisky wishlist. one bottle or maybe more?....
