Tomintoul 8 Years Old 2016 Hart Brothers 0.70 ltr 46%

0.70ltr. 46%

Nose: An inviting scent with soft, sweet notes of raisins, dried apricots and candied orange peel. A floral hint of heather mingles with warm spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The influence of the Marsala cask brings out a rich, vinous sweetness, with subtle notes of honey and milk chocolate.

Palate: Full and round on the palate, with a creamy texture. Flavours of ripe red fruit – think cherries and plums – are complemented by caramel and toffee. There is a slightly savoury undertone of roasted nuts and a hint of dark chocolate, perfectly balanced by the fruity elegance of the cask.

Finish: Long and warming, with a gentle spiciness that lingers. The sweetness of the Marsala cask comes through again in the form of dried fruit and a hint of vanilla, while a delicate touch of oak and a hint of speculoos spices provide a satisfying conclusion.
