Tomatin 14 Year Port Casks

Nose: fruity and sweet aromas. The 46 ABV is not knocking off the nose. Smells like Vino santo (though way less sugar) and Christmas flavours. First sip is strong and it is the contrary of the smells that were really light. Now we feel the 46ABV. Liquor, dried fruits and dry feeling on the end of the tongue. Later tastes with water. The smell gets a bit more salty. However it is still very strong and dries the back of the tongue. Nuts and golden syrup tastes come to finish. Complete and strong whisky for beginners

Similar to the 12. Sweet but with a bit of spice at the end. Little linger finish than the 12.

Sweet rich nose with the scent of wood and marmalade. Sweet, caramel on the tongue with a sharp spicy, licorice finish. Too much bite at the end.

This is tasty stuff; flavorful, rich and warming. On the nose, I smell grape must and raw pastry dough. There is a deep weightiness, like the inside of a raisin box, followed by the sweetness of a fruit cocktail cup. On the palate, I get Ovaltine and dried fruit, vanilla pudding with some grappa spikes and dusty walnuts. The finish is medium/long. I have enjoyed this bottle but liked the first half better than the second. It didn’t evolve but he way I thought it might. Still a strong one and good value.

palette: brown sugar, buttery, white wine

Sharp yet sweet, slightly fruity after taste
