 Tomintoul / With a Peaty Tang. £32.65 Country: Scotland Region: Speyside Age: Strength: 40%. 700ml Summary: COUNTRY/REGION: Scotland/Speyside. CATEGORY: Single Malt. DISTILLERY: Tomintoul. BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling. STRENGTH: 40% Vol. SIZE: 700ml Tomintoul distillery was founded by the whisky broking firms W&S Strong and Hay & MacLeod. In 1974, the number of stills were doubled from 2 to 4, when its first single malt was marketed. For a number of years Tomintoul Single Malt was renowned for its perfume shaped bottle. The distillery is 8 miles from Tomintoul village which is used by walkers and climbers as a base camp. NOSE: takes me back to my early teens, spending schooldays working on a farm: pure farmyard with an earthy yet fruity punch. The sort of complex nose that almost makes you forget to drink the stuff…almost…; TASTE: a gentle coating of vaguely sweet peat that multiplies in intensity; salivating yet chewy. Some liquorice and hickory notes make their drying mark; FINISH: distinctly gristy and unusually dry for a smoky malt. Long, luscious and not a little oaky late on; BALANCE: a bit more than a tang, believe me! Faultlessly clean distillate that revels in its unaccustomed peaty role. The age is confusing and appears mixed, with both young and older traits being evident. AWARDS: 94 Points – Jim Murray's 2016 Whisky Bible. |
