Tomatin Single Cask 1993 (cask 6810) - 125th Anniversary
Master distiller Graham Eunson selected this impressive cask of Tomatin whisky, an oloroso sherry butt, to mark the 125th Anniversary of the distillery. It's been bottled at a hearty 57.3% ABV and you can expect lots of big, complex, sherry-tastic flavours.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Similar to the type of cask that would have been used in 1897, this is a great example of a whisky that takes time to open up. Initially the nose is very soft with hints of furniture wax, hessian and engine oil. Emerging notes of very old oloroso sherry bring a complex mix of fruit and nut; figs, raisins, plums, pear tarte tatin, and frangipane. Growing ever bolder, aromas of coffee liqueur, flamed orange, caramel, and black walnut bitters show a darker side before herbal notes of pipe tobacco and eucalyptus.
Palate
Massive sherry notes coat the palate- walnut- almond- raisins (almost like PX) and citrus in the form of tangerine. This is followed by a wave of European Oak spice- toffee and dark chocolate. In time a liquorice flavour develops along with a hint of Assam Tea.
Finish
Deep and rich. A short dryness from the Assam Tea note is replaced by re-emerging raisin and chocolate.
