Tomatin 12 Year Old 2002 - Cuatro - #2: Manzanilla Sherry Cask Finish 70cl Whisky

Tomatin's Cuatro range was unveiled in 2014, and features four single malt bottlings, all distilled on the same day, matured in American oak casks for nine years, and then finished in four different types of Sherry cask for three years. Incidentally, 'Cuatro' is the Spanish word for "four" - rather fitting for this series, don't you think?

For Cuatro #2, Tomatin finished this single malt in first-fill Manzanilla Sherry casks. This has brought a whole host of full-bodied fruit notes (think ripe orange and green apples), crushed almond and hazelnut hints and a subtle oily elements.

1,500 bottles of each of the Cuatro bottlings were produced.
