The label for most Tomintoul bottlings carries the moniker "the gentle dram", and for good reason. The distillery tends to make smooth, unpeated, and easy-drinking Speyside Single Malt Scotch and this 14-year-old is no exception. Bottled at 46%.

Cognac Cask Finish. Might be intriguing! Shame about the 40%, though. These accountant-strength bottlings that Tomintoul and owners Angus Dundee seem to be enamoured with could use a slight shift upwards. No need to make "The Gentle Dram" too gentle.
Producer Description
"Our Master Distiller, Robert Fleming, created this small batch bottling by specially selecting Tomintoul aged in exceptional ex-bourbon American oak barrels, which are then married & finished in hand selected Cognac casks from France.
The process of ‘finishing’ creates a beautifully rich, complex & full flavoured single malt scotch whisky."

The 12 Year Old is Glenfiddich's flagship bottle.
$79.99
From the distillery behind the world's bestselling Single Malt comes an exciting new addition. This 14 year old has been entirely matured in ex-bourbon barrels, before being finished in freshly charred American Oak. In other words: a little more of the spirit character will be allowed to shine through. Good stuff. An exciting new face for Glenfiddich.

"A new livery for the 15, it’s true that the former one was quite strange. Jim McEwan used to say this 15 was his favourite malt, after Bruichladdich of course (err, probably!) Colour: straw. Nose: it’s not that often than a 15 is a 10+5 years, if you see what I mean. Yeah, well, I mean that this one noses exactly like the 10 with five extra-years, that is to say with more vanilla, more spices (soft ones here) and a more refined fruitiness (added ripe strawberries here). The rest is similar (apples, lemon, wax, smoke.) Very nice. Mouth: exactly the same happens on the palate, all flavours playing louder this time. That means that it’s big whisky, full flavoured, interestingly citrusy and getting maybe just a tad too grassy/dry after a while. Quite some vanilla. Gets then funnily medicinal (no Laphroaig though), a tad camphory. Eucalyptus drops. Finish: long, still very zesty. Comments: more complexity in this one, a very entertaining profile. We like this one a lot, and it’s rather fairly priced. SGP:641 - 87 points."
