Tomatin
Scotland
Single Malt
The story behind this Tomatin comes from the legend of a spectral dog, Cù Bòcan, who has haunted the Highland village for countless years. It was once seen by a distillery worker who, after initially running away, felt compelled to touch the dog's fur. As he reached out his hand, the dog dissipated into a plume of ghostly smoke over the moorlands...
For one week every year, the Highland distillery makes a peated whisky instead of their traditionally unpeated expressions. This ghostly edition has been peated to 15ppm and matured in a mix of virgin oak, bourbon and sherry casks. Don't worry about it evaporating after touching it though. We're sure that's just an old wives' tale. Hopefully.
A springy citrus blend of oranges and grapefruits which leads into a fresh, floral bloom.
Smoke starts to seep through slowly, growing ever so slightly the longer it's on the tongue. Subtle sweet chillies pop up, as well as a nutty note or two.
Medium, with a final flash of the spectral smoke.
I am an Islay lover, so to find a highland with as much complexity was a treat. I think the description in the "Mystical dram" review is right on and cannot be improved upon. A smooth easy drinking whisky. I prefer it neat.
This thin bodied dram has got a beatiful full gold color to it. The nose represents a noteable floral expression, accompanied by hints of grass. The palate is quite pronounced with smokey characteristics. It doesn't offend, it invites. The finish is smooth, a tad short though, adding some more smoke and a faint peat feeling in the background. All in all a sublime drink, powered by it's mystical background. The supreme presentation of both the box and the bottle makes this whisky a great experience. (RB)
At a recent whisky festival in Inverness, after sampling (too many) different whiskies this was the one I went back for. I enjoy easy to drink malts rather than the more extreme peaty or smoky variety and this fits the bill to perfection. I am not an expert so do not use all their over elaborate flowery descriptions. Quite simply, this is an extremely nice dram, especially with a few drops of water. I will be buying it again.
