Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a little mindboggling, because you can feel both the old Tomintouls (overripe apples, herbal teas and a light tropicalness) and a more ‘modern’ side, with vanilla, coconut and some sweet/herbal oaky tones. Quite some cedar wood is getting everything together. With water: notes of lager and ale, with some vanilla and overripe fruits
restaurant Palate
it’s not that all these decades diverge or collide, but once again, there’s this wee feeling of a whisky doing the splits, although the end result remains very good. Some sour apples and quite some oak, ginger, hints of green bananas (which many old Tomintouls were already having…) With water: the younger ones win it. Barley, oranges, vanilla custard…
timer Finish
medium, with these notes of sweet ale again, while the bananas are back in the aftertaste
