The Tomatin 14 Year Old was introduced to the core range in 2014. It features Highland single malt matured in bourbon barrels as well as specially selected Port casks, imparting wine-like sweetness to the whisky.
Quite a powerful nose. Big bunches of red berries and grapes. Vanilla, oak and hints of white pepper.
Dark chocolate dipped in strawberries. Crushed almonds, walnuts, Victoria sponge (with plenty of the prerequisite jam and cream in the middle) and a centre of oak.
Fruity on the finish.
A neat addition to Tomatin's collection.

One of the best whiskies from a very good distillery. Lovely on the nose and the port kicks in straight away buy not over powering at all. Some hints of marmalade and sweetness after.
Excellent whisky and great value for money. Very rich nose, see and palate. Love it
Maple syrup nose - almost overpowering, and rosewater. In the mouth, its bourbon rich, sweet, and yes there is a tawny port thing going on - no red fruits at all. To be honest this does not taste like any other whisky - its mostly cask influences. I can see why some folk like it, but... well it's just not whisky Jim.
Was aged (20 months) in TAWNY port casks, not ruby - so any reference to red fruits or quinta ruban is imaginary - except for the slight pinkish tinge.. Before that, Bourbon - which is the main cask influence and very noticable - in a good way. Otherwise it's rather hard to pin down but a tad sour. Yes it's OK for a friday evening, a solid 3 stars. Overall, I would not buy again - I really admire the integrity of non-chill / non-colour / 46% BUT it's not that special. To be honest the West Cork 12yo Port Cask @£38 is better.
Smooth rich flavour from the port wood casks - compares very well to the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. Excellent.
