Tomatin Cask Strength

N: spiky, warming spices, orchard fruits (red apple), orange, vanilla. Later on the alcohol bite gets muted. P: rough, spiky, peppery, bold, sweet. Feels young. F: chilli, nuts, bitterness, bit herbal. With water much more nuts.

For a cask strength 57.5% ABV (115 proof) whisky, it’s surprisingly flavourful. You get some sweet fruity aromas and flavours, but only after the strong alcohol forward notes on the nose and palate. When adding a splash of water, the flavours definitely soften up a little and allow them to come forward a little more, you still get a good mix of sweet and spicy!

Nose: first of all, pipe tobacco, gingerbread, pear, apple sauce, milk chocolate, red berries Palate: salty caramel, hazelnuts, chocolate, dry and strong texture. Finish: medium with fresh tobacco
