In 2014, the Tomatin 12 Year Old was given an update and bottled at 43% ABV rather 40%, as it was previously. This core single malt from the ace distillery in the Highlands is finished for six-to-nine months in Oloroso Sherry casks before being bottled.
Buttery at first, but notes of cooked apple, raisin and almond soon emerge. There are resinous and floral hints as well as some chocolate.
Oak-y vanilla and fresh mint, dotted with stem ginger, a touch of guava and dried orange peel.
Currant buns, a hint of raspberry jam, barley.

Nose: Raisin, nutty, licorice, anise, subtle dark bitter chocolate. Palate: Mostly raisin, citrus and orange hints, creamy, buttery. It's a decent purchase. I'm personally not a big fan of the raisin but not a bad dram at all.
one of the great 12 yr old bourbon cask whiskies imo. it has everything you want at a good price. Top Dram this struth
Probably the Best whisky, one can buy,at this Price, great Tipple
Fast becoming one of my favorites. Very smooth with a plethora of flavours. The subtle orange/citrus just hinting in the background. Long smooth finish. Hard to equal in the price range and a bargain when on offer
