This was probably one of the better Tomatin bottles I’ve had at this point- and I’ve had quite a few. This is a NAS whisky, but not in the same terms as what we’ve grown to expect from a non-age statement: young whisky. This bottling takes Tomatin stock from 5 successive decades to make a truly memorable dram in honor of Tomatin’s master distiller/blender. There’s bits of whisky from the rebellious 60’s, disco 70’s, new wave 80’s, angst-ridden 90’s and the crapfest of music that was the 00’s in this bottle. And they collaborate to make beautiful music together. It was bottled at the 46% sweet spot, is NCF’d and has no added color. I believe my buddy Jason paid around $110 for this bottle. What a steal! The nose starts out with traditional sherry cask sweetness, but then a heavy dose of orchard and tropical fruits waft in along with a slight hint of peat and smoke. There’s that crazy bit of candle wax if you let it sit too long, but it doesn’t ruin anything. The palate reminds me of a sugary, chocolate breakfast cereal with a warm toffee and alcohol backbone. It’s that slight hit from the younger stock and ABV that keep this from being a 5-star dram, but damn it’s still close. This is still dessert in a glass. The finish is medium length, unfortunately, and that’s disappointing simply from the standpoint that I wanted this to keep going. It’s tropical and sweet, oily at first before turning a tad dry. It just needed to be longer. Either that, or I needed another dram to relive it all. Send more, @telex! Overall, I think I need to search this one out just to have a bottle on hand. This stuff is fantastic and I could finish off a hearty meal with a dram or two every day and be thoroughly satisfied. 4.75 stars, all day long. Great stuff. Cheers.
