Tomatin 12 Year Old (40%)

This 12 year old was released in late 2003 to replace the 10 year old. A medium-bodied single malt from the Tomatin distillery.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Medium-bodied and well-balanced. There are notes of toasted cereals and barley. Hints of winter spice and buttery pepper emanating from the toasty oak. Hints of dark sugar and cut flowers with a note of malt extract, rum and apple peel.

Palate

Good body and quite sweet. There are notes of fudge and dark sugar, winter spice and a touch of vinosity, notes of toffee apple and Bramley peel with notes of dried herbs.

Finish

Good length with notes of boiled sweets and fruity sweetness.

For the Price, You Can Easily Do Worse

I drink low-to midrange single malts regularly, and keep the Magellan 18 y.o. and whanot for special occasions. My favorite will always be Glenfiddich 15 y.o., but this Scotch ranks with a good batch of Glenmorange Quinta Rubin for $10 less.

Too sharp

For a 12 year old, this is motivated smooth. Too high alcohol content. Th

A nice 12 year old

I've tasted many Scotches in the US and Scotland and for a 12 yr Highland malt it's flavorful and reasonably priced. It's a Highland having more Christmas spice and less fruit flavors as found in a Speyside. I get lots of toasty barley and brown sugar with a long spicy finish. On the nose there is vanilla and Carmel. I'm thankful the Japanese saved this distillary. This is a great buy and change of pace from other 12 year olds. Add it to your collection.

Not as good as I hoped...

Saw this on a shelf of a store while traveling. 12 year single malt for $30? Yes, please! But after trying, it tastes like a much more immature scotch... basically a somewhat nicer but more costly Famous Grouse. It strangely sits between being a premium mixer and just ok on its own. Everything about the taste just misses for me and there's much better whiskey choices in this price range. It's worth a try but it just doesn't have anything to make it a go-to sipper.

Nice malt and a great price.

I'm not sure why the reviews are so polarized on this whisky. Yes, it tastes volume produced (and Tomatin is a large volume distillery) but it's 'good quality' volume produced, if you know what I mean. Nicely rich and malty, supple texture and relatively full bodied for $27 a bottle. I would rate this better than any other in its price range, including Speyburn 10.
