Tomatin 18 Years
Once Tomatin was the biggest Malt Whisky distillery in Scotland with 23 Pot Stills. These times are long over. Today it produces slower and smaller, but with higher quality, like this 18 year old. The new bottling is convincing with 3% Vol. more than the predecessor with 43%.

Once upon a time the biggest distillery in Scotland was located in the Highlands with 23 running stills. Although these times are long gone, Tomatin is a name worth remembering. A bit innocent at first, the nose is fruity and creamy with honey, sweet cherries and whiffs of wood smoke. Cloves, raisins and cocoa indicate noticeable sherry influence. On the palate, the oak is taking over with lemon zest, blood oranges and strong notes of dark chocolate. The finish is easy and flawless. Altogether, Tomatin 18 is a solid Single Malt but missing that little extra.
