Tomatin distillery's new no-age-statement release uses virgin oak as well as bourbon casks. It provides a new entry level to the Tomatin range but the use of different casks make this a unique expression.
Lemon, panatella and pine forest. Slightly green with vanilla.
Cracked pepper and sweet barley with pineapple cube sweets. Waves of warming oak beneath.
Sweet but peppered.
A clean and certainly affordable single malt whisky.

As inexperienced whiskey drinkers thought it was easy to drink will buy again and going to try another Tomatin
The virgin oak adds something fresh and unique, lovely stuff!
Low price & perfect for old fashioned. Chocolate flavor blossoms after adding orange oil. True delight.
A clean citrus nose, let down by an unfortunate paraffin note at the crest of the palette before the pepper and sweetness returns. Taking a risk with the Tomatin reputation with this release - but not a huge one at that. Others have done a lot worse (Glenlivet Founders Reserve, Laphroaig Select etc)
It's a known fact that water brings out flavours in a whisky when needed. Especially those that are high abv or a little closed. The foremost whisky tasters in the world all use drops or teaspoons of water to lower abv and bring out flavours. Maybe do some research before criticisizing others. This is a pretty good little whisky for the price. Yes, its young. But the fresh, crisp flavours are there (especially with a few drops of water and 15 minutes rest). For the price, this is a damn good whisky.
