Tomatin Cask Strength
$83.99
Matured in a 50/50 mix of Ex-Bourbon barrels and Oloroso Sherry Butts, this is the first cask strength whisky to be added to the core range. Bottled without colouring or chill filtering this first edition of the cask strength has been bottled at 57.5%. Interesting little Easter Egg is that 57.1 is also the lattitude of Tomatin Distillerry!
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: leather, Christmas cake, chocolate, warm ginger snaps from the oven and citrus airfreshner; nutty, molten brown sugar, candied fruits and mixed Christmas nuts.
Palate: big, rich and spicy, massively sherried; huge, brooding and drying nutty Oloroso sherry notes; firm leather, wet muddy leaf litter, more candied fruits in medium dark chocolate and tingling spices: cinnamon hearts, candied ginger and some clove just pulled out of honey baked ham.
Finish: long, leathery and very sherried; drying and nutty with fading Oloroso sherry, chocolate and spice.
Comment: bang for buck, if you want a lot of sherry and a high abv at a low price... this is your malt!
Distiller's Tasting Note:
Nose: Golden syrup. Orange and lemon. Pears. Walnuts. Ginger biscuits. Gets sweeter with time.
Palate: Marzipan, burnt sugar. Toasted malt loaf. Chestnuts. Polished leather. Vanilla flavoured tobacco.
Finish: Dry, with a developing spiciness.

Distiller's Tasting Note:
Nose: A fresh and lively combination of crisp, green orchard fruits, stem ginger and hints of tangerine mellows to creamy vanilla with a delicate note of mint and a gentle twist of citrus, all held together with a sweet barley back note.
Palate: Warm toasted oak spices flood through green apple skins and dried apricots, ripening to hints of peach and soft banana. Subtle touches of aniseed and lemon zest create a contrasting edge to the fruit and add an intriguing character to the long, crisp barley finish.
