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.
Decent low-cost scotch. Definitely improves with a few drops of water and being allowed to breathe for a few minutes; it mellows it out and allows dried fruit and ginger to come through the otherwise rather strong fresh-cut wood flavors, and you can pick up on the figgy elements of other highland scotches. The finish is a little on the hot side and is grassy and malty. This is definitely not as refined as other highlands on offer, but since it’s forty or fifty dollars cheaper than most of them, you probably won’t care.
One of the most underrated Speysider, to be honest. I don't want to tell about it's particular flavor and aroma profile, because everyone can feel and taste different, but what I can tell for sure is Tomatin 12 has it's very own character, easy to drink, fruity and perfect go to whisky for everyone. Good solid single malt and one of the best for your buck.
I am not anywhere near well-versed in high end single malts. I run the gamut fromInver House (which is brilliant) to Dewars to Curry sark and Ballantine’s. High end blends like Monkey Shoulder and Chivas and maybe Johnny Walker. That said, I occasionally select a low end single malt and I would certainly recommend Tomatin 12-year old. Smooth fruitiness and no harsh alcohol backwash make this a superb selection.
Normally drink speysides but this is something else entirely. Dont even know what to compare it to. Really smooth on the palate with some fruity notes coming in. The finish is amazing really creamy and long with a oily aftertaste.. In short youll either love it or hate it
Refreshing 12 year old, head and shoulders above any 12 year old that I have tasted.
