Tomatin 12 Year Bourbon & Sherry Casks

Zoete whisky. Lekkere smaak, weinig afdronk. Proef de smaak van gras

Nose - ripe green apple and pear, honey, slight maltiness. Taste - pear and green apple jump out, sole slight sweetness and some drying tannins. Finish - sweetness quickly fades leaving some dryness and a touch of sourness, fairly thin, very light heat

Tomatin is usually a lovely whisky. This is no exception to that rule. I believe this is a new 12 expression that intends to become the core for that age in this distillery. This whisky has been aged in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. Bottled at 43%abv. On the nose, coffee, dulce de leche, vanilla, red fruits, Some citrus developing, Sider, Watermelon. After first sip: Chocolate & Toffee. Very very nice aroma. On the palate, Vanilla powder, Green apples, Sider. Very pleasant but maybe too Straightforward. Aftertaste feels like your typical highland malt: Honey, Hay, Vanilla powder, Ginger spice and Tobacco. Overall this is a good dram, specially for the price. 86 over 100.
