TASTING NOTES – TOMINTOUL TLATH
Nose
The alcohol component is perceivable. Yellow fruit (apple and melon), a hint of candied orange and aromatic herbs.
Palate
Notes of malt and yellow apple, with a touch of vanilla and hints of orange peel.
Finish
medium persistence. White pepper, yellow apple, and hints of Thousand flower honey.
Overall, the Tomintoul Tlàth is a fairly harmonious Scotch, even if the youth of this malt is perceived throughout, especially on the nose. A deecnt dram, without too many pretensions.
