Tomatin Legacy

Light nose, honey, ripe apples, vanilla, light and delicate. Palate honey and vanilla, pungent. Short ending. Discreet despite his very young age.

Nose: cinnamon, vanilla, caramel, apple, sanddlwood?, very friendly Palate: cinnamon, vanilla, caramel, more intense what was expected based on nose, like pepper Aftertaste: weak point for me, honey, pepper, some oaky tartness remains longer but really missing the punch

I read that this was highly recommended in Forbes and was fortunate enough to be given this as a gift by my always generous friend @BradMacario. Looking forward to trying it! Nose: Rich in tropical fruits. Pineapple is at the forefront. I also get some mango and peach cobbler here. I'm not getting much for spice or other flavours here but the rich fruit is quite pleasant and reminds me of an Irish whiskey. Palate: This is really fruit forward initially with more of that peach cobbler flavour. The peach persists into a more Quaker peach oatmeal with some brown sugar sprinkled on top. There's a hint of cinnamon and caramel on the tail end. Finish: Medium to long. There's a grainy chewiness that hangs around and lingers for some time. Some subtle black pepper persists giving a slight bitter ending. Overall this is a good whisky. It's a bit thin on flavour but very rich and enjoyable. However, for the price point this is absolutely spectacular. I can't think of any other single malt at this price point that could compete. Some blended scotches I would like to compare this to in a similar price range would be Monkey Shoulder and Naked Grouse. Highly recommend!

Virgin oak give some spicy notes but no bitterness, 43%, and just 25 euros, it’s very pleasant fruity, vanilla, malty single malt.

Lightly sweet floral, honey, and pineapple flavors with a little peat. Smooth with a mild bitter finish. Not remarkable but pleasant easy drinking.

Light and fragrance well balance and surprisingly good for value
