Tomatin 12 Year Old

Neutral to the nose with some cedar-like sweetness and light peat. Definitely no "bite" or much of an aftertaste. If you want a price driven single malt that is completely inoffensive, start here.

Value for money.

Got this for $27 and I am very impressed tastes just as good as things I've spent double that on, nothing particularly special about it just a very smooth fruity dram nice and oaky too maybe just a slight hint of salt on the finish.For the price probably my new favorite will be buying this again.Also my bottle looks very different from the one on here looks like the picture of the 18 year and I like it more wasn't a fan of their presentation before so I never tried them but now I am a fan.

Tomatin have got it spot on !! Excellent whisky at fair affordable prices !! Way too mutch elitism with many of the so called big boys of Single malt .

This is a sweet, easy to like Scotch whisky for a low price. I didn't find anything objectionable about it. I saw it on sale for less than 32.00 per 750 and thought I'd give it a try. Glad I did. Add a few drops of Talisker and stump your friends.

No complaints here...good flavor and interesting but easy to drink in any setting. My more experienced friends agree this is one tasty dram, regardless of the price.

Relatively new to clean scotch but this one is incredible even for me either on the rocks or neat or with a whiskey rock or two. Smooth and easy to drink and experienced tasters agree, doesn't get much better at this price point.

This is a good 12 year old. It has a nice malty flavor that fills the mouth. Cirrus and orange notes. I drank it with ice a at 22.00 dollars which is rinsplash of water. Priced right too at $22.

Did a vertical tasting of the Tomatin 12, 15 and 18 in one evening and to my surprise, I liked the 12 best! ( will do a second tasting of them all independently though just to be sure). Took plenty of time between tastings and cleansed the palate as well to ensure one didn't influence the other...here's what I got:

Surprisingly minimal alcohol on the nose for a 43% ABV I thought. I got a marzipan-ish, dried fruit (dates) and sweet honey aroma with the palate yielding all the same. Finish was mild, sweet and smooth and was medium in length. Tried again with a splash of distilled water as well (as this was the first tasting) and found that overall, water didn't do much to this dram so I will drink it neat. (FYI - water DID do more to open up the 15 & 18 year olds... at least for me.)

Low priced 12 YO. The nose is harsh and chemically. It does make a good whiskey and soda. For the price it would be a good everyday scotch and soda whiskey.
