Tomintoul The Cooper's Choice 1996 20 Years Single Malt Whisky

Wow, this dram's got a real smoky kick to it, like a bonfire on a chilly night 🔥. First taste hits with some honey sweetness and a bit of dried fruit, maybe raisins or sultanas 🍇. Mouthfeel's quite oily and rich, really coats the tongue. Finish is long and warming, with a touch of oak and a subtle spiciness at the end. Quite a lovely sipper for sure! 😊 Oh, and a hint of vanilla sneaks in there too, adds a nice balance. Def one to savour slowly. 🥃

Nice one! First sip hits with that classic smokey peat, kinda like a campfire 🔥 but not too heavy. Then you get these sweeter notes rolling in – maybe some caramel and vanilla? Reminds me of toffee apples, honestly. Hints of green apple and pear come through too, cuts through the smoke nicely. Bit of oak in the back, and a long, warm finish. Really smooth. Aye, a proper good dram for a cold evening. 🥃
