Tomatin 18 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Casks
An 18 year old from the Tomatin distillery, finished in Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
The nose is quite punchy and of good body. There are notes of chewy grape and sultana with winter spice; cloves and cinnamon. There are notes of vanilla fudge and a most supple of smokes, weaving gracefully in cut grasses and apple peels. The palate is quite sweet and full. There are notes of barley sugar and honeycomb. Hints of chocolate orange and cocoa dusted liberally on toasty oak. The finish is long and powerful with a dry, chewy oak and a touch of pepper.
Nose
Rich and sherried, with orchard, citrus and dried fruit – apples, oranges and sultanas.
Palate
Sweet and honeyed, with a backbone of citrus, fruit cake, chocolate and spice.
Finish
Long and warming spice fades to leave fruit and chocolate.
