Distilled back in 2002, this Tomatin was whacked into a single first-fill bourbon barrel for the following 16 years. In April 2019, fabulous indie bottler Gordon & MacPhail decided it was time to crack open the cask, and bottled the Highlander up at cask strength. The cask yielded 189 bottles at 59% ABV, released for the Connoisseurs Choice series.
Some lychee in there among vanilla oak and tart pineapple.
Chocolate banana bread, honeyed orchard fruit and toffee apple.
White pepper and grapefruit peel, with a hint of oak char.
