Aged in ex-bourbon casks, Tomintoul 16 Year Old is nice and punchy and medium bodied. Like many other Tomintoul expressions, the 16 years release has lots of barley sugars, vanilla, fudge and coffee flavours and aromas, with this one having the addition of some almond in the finish.
Nose: Medium-bodied and punchy. There are notes of stemmy cut hay and dried grasses, a leafy green note and a touch of rooty earth and fudge.
Palate: Notes of boiled sweets, espresso, mochaccino, ground almonds and granary toast with melted butter. Vanilla fudge and thick cream.
