Tomatin 12 Year Bourbon & Sherry Casks

Took a miniature with me (50 ml) , along with a small Glencairn to have some fun on a 2 1/2 hours flight. Tasted it while enjoying some great Scottish folk music (Ímar) on my Bose airplane headphones while the other passengers were drinking water and listening to the airplane noises... Lucky me! ;-) It has a lovely nose of honey, hay, sweet baked apples and a hint of citrus and spices on the background. The palate is just ok with citrus sweetness, spice and apple tartness. It ends a little drying with a bit of bitterness in the end. But I like it since it gives a little complexity for a very straight forward malt. This is a very simple, average, affordable whisky and I like it for what it is.

Bu le Sherry Cask 14 ans. Vraiment bon. Doux, un peu vanille.

Fruit, wood spice and cocoa. My first taste was with water and having let my pour sit for 20 minutes. I found it smooth and rich. 2nd dram; nose is medium sweet fruit. Apple, fig and banana. Taste; sweet, rich. Fruity, apple and pear. Pepper in the finish.

By far my favorite so far- like an old fashioned without all the extras

light side of honey, almost clear looking. very fruity and floral on the nose - apple, blossom. pear on the tongue. little burn, not much back.
