Tomintoul 16 Years

At the first glance the 16-year-old Tomintoul is quite similar to the 10-year-old- However, it contains more sherry cask whiskies, wich make it rounder and sweeter. Together with the longer maturation this results in a very good single malt.

What happens when a 'blend filler' distillery starts to bottle Single Malts? Right, they get a problem with the caliber of their casks (mainly refill ex-bourbon). Luckily, Tomintoul 16 is more sherry-influenced than its 10-year-old brother. On the nose, you get dark fruits with hints of walnuts and marzipan, heather honey and very distant peatiness. The taste is light and sweet with grainy citrus, cornflakes and some crisp oak. Vanilla, spices and mild tannins accompany the modest finish. An easy sipper that appears younger than the age statement suggests.
