Dualchas expression from Tomatin is a no age statement (NAS) bottling that is probably the most budget friendly out of any Single Malt Scotches, starting at $24 from Total Wine. The nose on this whisky is incredible with apricots, golden raisins, and candied ginger and orange peel. The palate and the finish is a bit of a let down as the nose promises more than what this bottle delivers. Some vanilla and a bit honey sweetness followed by citrus notes before quickly burning out with notes of charred oak and black pepper. More substance is hoped for but it is hard to complain when it is only $24. While I may only pick this up again to use in cocktails, it sold me on giving their other expressions a whirl.

The Tomatin12 is much better as you strated and one of the better values out there too
@Ctrexman I absolutely agree. For the price absolutely hard to beat. Not something I hit all the time but do not regret buying the bottle for sure 👍
I thought the Dualchas was pretty good for the $
@socialdistilledspirits I’ve seen that one one too. Seems a little more legit than a sub $30 NAS bottling...
@WhiskeyLonghorn I got the Tomatin 12 shortly after. Much better in my opinion. At $24 for that bottle, it's not the worst purchase in my opinion.
@PBMichiganWolverine Plenty of good stuff available at that price point as long as it's not Single Malt Scotch.
I’ve seen this one too. Seems like a pass...
Got me wondering: “ if I had only $25 to spend, which whiskey would I buy? “
