Tomintoul Reserve 37 year old, 43%

Price: 600 Issue: Spring 2015 Reviewer: Geoffrey Kleinman Category: Single Malt Scotch

Not what you'd expect from a malt at this age. Instead of oak dominating the nose, it's citrus in focus, with orange marmalade, candied orange, and even orange blossom. On the palate this whisky is light and delicate, leading with the citrus notes from the nose. This symphony of orange is followed with toffee, ginger, oak, and rancio in a combination that's well balanced and integrated. Unique for its age, a definite treat for those who prefer lighter and more delicate whiskies. (U.S. only, 600 bottles)
