Tomatin 12 Year Bourbon & Sherry Casks

Nose: mildew, vanilla, honey. Palate: grapefruit, malty. warming. Finish: Fairly short but pleasantly floral. Adding water improves the nose with a slightly smoky aroma, and adds balance to the palate. Overall: a great value for the age. A good “entry level” single malt Scotch.

Has a spicier or smoker taste with a stronger after taste. could overwhelm the ♾️

Appearance: Looking into this little highlander I find the color of light clover honey. The dram’s legs are medium thickness and watery. Nose: The nose starts off with notes of salted caramel, then moves into notes of wildflower, light incense smoke, red wine, apples, and dry grass. Taste: The palate I didn't find as bold as the nose. Red apple, apricot, buttered sweet corn, and cocoa powder were the notes that I found. Finish: The medium finish leaves a semi-oily mouthfeel along with a bitter then minty aftertaste. Thoughts: This highland single malt was a delightful dram. It wasn't very complicated but it was very friendly! This would be an excellent starter scotch to anyone new to the game! It's a tad boring to those who have much experience however. My vote - I would recommend it, but I probably won't buy it again for myself. I bought this one in a small sample trio, and I am excited to try this scotch’s older siblings! Tomatin, thank you very much! Sláinte!
