Tomintoul 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Quite a muscular Speysider. The perfect dram to buck you up after a woodland walk mushroom-picking on a cold November day.
Tomintoul 12 Years Old Portwood
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 No real complexity. Maybe longer in cask would have helped. Compare to
the Penderyn.
Tomintoul 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Slightly more grainy and less fruity than I remember.
Tomintoul 1976 33 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 A good example of integration. A dram in balance.
Tomintoul 1976 Vintage
- Scotland - 40.00%
8 A big initial impact then a slow gentle falling away.Worth a look.
Tomintoul 1995 14 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 A charmer and well done Tomintoul for taking the non-chill filtered,no colouring route. Have as a summer time aperitif.
Tomintoul 27 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Normally thought of as a light malt but this is a rich, viscous expression.
Tomintoul Oloroso Sherry Cask 12 Years Old
- Scotland - 40.00%
7 Very shy almost embarassed. Don't be, Tomintoul.Shout it out!
Tomintoul Peated
- Scotland - 40.00%
7 An attractive dram for sure,but just lacks impetus.
Tomintoul Single Peated Malt Scotch Whisky
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
6 Pleasant and easy-going.
Dewar Rattray Tomintoul 1975 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 48.50%
7 Slightly angular. Not a lot seems to have happened.
Mackillop's Choice Tomintoul 1966
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.50%
7 Delicate, and definitely Speyside, but not quite as elegant as some expressions I have tasted.
Ask the Expert
I am in possession of a Tomintoul Glenlivet 12 Years Old in a perfume shaped bottle.
I have been told it is from the late 80s. Can you estimate the value? Would it be worth me keeping it for longer?
