Tomatin Cuatro Series #3 "Oloroso" 12 Year
Single Malt
Tomatin // Highlands, Scotland
The Cuatro Series from Highland Scotch producer, Tomatin, was released in September 2014 and features four sherry cask-finished expressions. Each was distilled on the same day and initially matured in traditional American oak casks (read, ex-bourbon) for 9 years.
This third expression in the series was finished for an additional 3 years in Oloroso sherry butts. Meaning "scented" in Spanish, Oloroso is produced though oxidative aging where the sherry is exposed to air due to the combination of slightly porous oak barrels and the lack of flor yeast that is naturally suppressed during fortification.
