Watt Whisky Tomintoul 2010 – 10 Year Old – 56.7%

This Tomintoul 2010 was selected by the independent bottler Watt Whisky. The whisky matured for 10 years in a refill butt and was bottled in 2021 at cask strength of 56.7% ABV. The edition is limited to only 246 bottles.

On the nose, a lovely fruity character emerges with apple, apricot, and quince, complemented by almond. Additionally, there are warmer aromas of caramelized wood, cardamom, and a creamy touch reminiscent of rice pudding.

The palate is fresh and juicy, with apricot and vanilla, followed by cashew nut and spicy notes reminiscent of masala chai. With a few drops of water, sweeter aromas of raisins and spicy nuances of nutmeg become more prominent.

The finish is medium-long and pleasantly warming, with a nice balance between fruit, nuts, and spices.

This Tomintoul was bottled as a Single Cask and at Cask Strength, without added coloring and without chill filtration.
