Tomatin Cask Strength 57.5% Whisky

I bought a bottle of this at the Tomatin Distillery on July 2nd 2023, 5 days ago while doing a loop of the UK in a VW Transporter Camper. We came home early today as one of our Fur persons has a very sore and swollen foot after an accident at Dornoch Beach in the Highlands. We left Ayr at 10:30am this morning and arrived home in Bedfordshire at 21:00 this evening and decided to have a taste of this thinking it was going to be rocket fuel. How mistaken could we be, it is Amazing. Sweet syrup, then a chilli, pepper hit, mellowing down to xmas cake with marzipan and a salty sea lapping at your tongue. 100% recommended.

Being a newbie to whisky, I find it difficult to describe all the flavours as you would find in tasting notes, but one thing I can tell, this is my favourite dram, a little water and it goes down a treat, I need to order more soon!
It’s a lovely lovely whisky, and a good price for Cask Strength

One of my favourites. This is a good basic malt

This is truly the business. Can’t recommend highly enough. Better than whiskies double the money and more.

Excellent. Tomatin is such an underrated whisky.

a lovely dram..in a recent tasting session,it was likened to Aberlour A'bunadh (but without the ridiculous price tag) and some said as good.Rich,full,sherry mouth feel..I'd recommend for cask strength sherry bomb fans!

Just had this for xmas, and 'wow' don't really cover it - complex flavour - i normally go speysside - this tho - right kick up the behind saying 'rem the highlands' lol - such a deep taste, ah is hard to put into words..., imagine wood, spice, and xmases from years gone by MMMM! - With added water? those spices just exp0lode! - True classic

bourbon vanilla creamy mouthfeel leads to spices and a nice finish. plenty going on in this after a small amount of water to open it. smooth and yet rich too.. plenty sherry on the nose and its helping this along without overpowering it.
Im a big fan of Tomatin and this does not disappoint.. Fabulous dram!!!

Butter. Full stop. Yes it has a bit of bite to it, it is 115 proof. However, there is so much butter on the nose and the palate that this is one of my favorite whiskies. It's so buttery that it borders on funky cheese. Very distinct whisky. The 12 and 18 year old versions have some of the butter aroma and taste, but the cask strength is so dramatic with it that it is well worth searching for. So sad the one bottle I found is already gone.

A perfectly smooth malt with a very long and spicy finish. However, I personally found the smell of alcohol to be overwhelming and not particularly pleasant. For me it is slightly better neat but I would not buy again
