(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow Virtual Whisky Tasting 25 June 2020)
This is distilled at the Tomatin Distillery but is quite a different drink. It is peated to 41ppm. 84% of the spirit is 12y/o (where the spirit is finished for 5 years in Japanese Shōchū casks after starting in bourbon casks) and the remainder is 4y/o from virgin oak casks.
Biscuity on the nose with some light peat and oak. The palate is more of the same light peat and oak, with a hit of lime and some nutty/herbal notes. Quite a short finish with more of the oak and light peat. A really nice light peaty dram, which is much lighter than you’d expect from 41ppm.
Came last out of the six whiskies, with 0% of the final vote. I think it suffered from being first, as this was one my favourites of the tasting.
