Tomatin 12 Year Bourbon & Sherry Casks

Just that little sweet kick is great

Warm biscuits and malt welcome the nose, along with vanilla, caramel, toffee, and a wave of honey. Sweet and lovable, with this soul from a candy store infused with ripe fruit (mango, yellow peach, apricot) and brown sugar, very welcoming and caloric. A marked herbaceous note stems the diabetic explosion. And it is the herbaceous profile that makes its way onto the palate, very fresh and clean, at times balsamic, with the more subdued confectionary tendency expressed by raisins, ripe fruit, honey, orange peel and malt again, which gives warmth and a pinch of salinity. Less expressive than the sense of smell, but more balanced. The finish is medium, herbaceous and saline, slightly spiced with honey and raisins. A nice introductory whisky, not too complex, easily affordable (also for the price) without being anonymous or flat, an effective expression of the Highlands for those who want to start discovering them.

Nose: pears, apples, touch of wood Palate: very fruity, more pears and apples, floral
