Single Malt
Tomatin
Scotland
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.
£5.65 - £47.90
Excellent scotch for the price. Light bodied, smooth toffee- nutty- apricot taste. No harsh alcohol front or finish.
I like it. But it's a young, angry dram. Well, maybe not angry. Maybe just aggravated. I've looked at a lot of tasting notes on this stuff, but the thing about this that I notice most is a caramel and almond or walnut finish, and that stays with me well after the glass is empty. But it is a bit sting-y. I can get Speyburn for less, abs I recommend Speyburn over this at this price.
It's a good whisky, but doesn't overwhelm. I was hoping that it would have more notes of the cask strength version, which is just spectacular. This version really tames down the buttery notes to an almost imperceptible level. What I was surprised by were the fruit notes. Lots of green apple. It is also much smoother, with zero bite on the palate. It does warm up once it goes down, however. The cask strength version attacks the nose and the palate, but the fight is worth it. The 12yo has good body, not as thick and oily as the cask strength , but definitely enough to contribute to the smoothness. Judging by the varying reviews, there may be a quality control issue, but the bottle I tried was one of the good ones. Definitely worth the $40 I paid.
Been awhile since I finished this bottle, but I remember dried apricot and nougat.
So Bad I couldn't finish it. I didn't wanna waste the $40 that I spent on it so I forced myself to drink half the bottle but worst alcohol I ever smelled and tasted.
