Tomatin 12 Year Bourbon & Sherry Casks

Nice. Sweet. Nose has too much alcohol. Finish has some fruit and sweetness. Not special but decent.

Pale yellow, thin legs. Sherry dominant on the nose. Hay and honey. Floral but not overly sweet. Bright and fresh honeydew and ambiguous apple/pear but maintains a cereal note. Gently sweet on the tongue. Relatively one-dimensional and 100% in-line with the nose. Honeydew, unripened pear, and cereal grain. Astringency throughout the mouth that says it’s a touch more harsh than the 86 proof, but not unpleasant. Here at the end of the bottle, it still leaves a lot to be wanting, but my opinion has improved significantly over my initial tastes. Not anything special and a relatively pedestrian Highland, but IMO it’s a touch better (and cheaper) than Glenlivet and similar whiskys.

Really like the subtle smoke of this one.

Very attractive on noise, but than good when you tried. however good choice for the price.
