House Review
Intro:
This is the 12 year old expression of Tomatin that populates their core range. A blend of bourbon and sherry maturation was used for this specific bottling. It's pretty ubiquitous, and not at all expensive, so let's give it a go.
Nose:
Sweet honey, apples, almond. A fair bit more sherry than I was expecting, but nothing insane. Pears, vanilla, light amaretto, light baked bread.
Taste:
Thin but no heat. Sweet honey, vanilla. Fresh baked bread. Pears, apples, almonds. Light sulfur. Not super complex, but pleasant.
Finish:
Short, light, no heat. Sweet honey, light sherry funk. Yeasty sweetness, light fig, faint almond. Lots of vanilla.
Overall:
Not amazing but far from bad. Solid and inexpensive.
Score:
5
