Bottlings

Tomintoul 1967/2011 The Whisky Agency

April 3, 2012

For a malt of this age I was a little disappointed. It’s good, but really not exceptional. – Rating: 84/100

Tomintoul 21 yo

May 18, 2011

The new expression of Tomintoul is a smooth and pleasant sherried dram. It is slightly dry but not overly woody. Rating: 84/100

Middle-of-the-road malt. Doesn’t hurt the palate but is soon forgotten. – Score: 71/100
