Tomintoul 27 year old, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2004 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Very similar in flavor profile to the Tomintoul 16, reviewed below, but better. The longer aging has provided extra character and depth. Also, on the palate, the caramel flavors are a bit darker (bordering on toffee) and the whisky’s finish is longer and a shade drier. It has aged gracefully, with no excessive woodiness. A whisky that reveals its charm slowly and subtly.
