Tasting Notes

Nose

Golden syrup, ginger biscuits, malt, Jaffa oranges, almonds, melon — concentrated at full proof

Palate

Malt loaf, marzipan, caramel, vanilla, warm leather, chocolate-coated lime creams — doesn't drink its 57.5%

Finish

Long, gently spicy, drying — the cask strength delivering depth without harshness

First Impressions

Tomatin Cask Strength — Tomatin's first CS core (2015). Bourbon + Oloroso. 1,028ft Highland. NCF, 57.5%.

Tasting

Golden syrup and ginger biscuit nose. Malt loaf and marzipan palate. Long spicy drying finish. Surprisingly drinkable.

The Verdict

Tomatin CS earns an 8 — superb value cask strength at £52. Doesn't drink its 57.5%. Japanese ownership delivers another winner.
