House Review
-
Intro:
This is the 18 year old expression of Tomatin's core range. Initially matured in bourbon, it is moved to Oloroso sherry butts for finishing.
-
Nose:
Rich honey, figs, apples, dates, cherry and currant. Really rich sherry notes here. Moist pipe tobacco. Honey, amaretto, vanilla.
-
Taste:
Medium, no heat. Rich sweet sherry. This is what I was hoping for in previous expressions. Musty pipe tobacco. Currant, blackberry, light earthiness. Faint cocoa, light pepper. The sherry here is quite apparent compared to the 12 and 15.
-
Finish:
Long, sweet, rich. Honey, almonds, figs, currant, musty sweetness. Tobacco is really apparent.
-
Overall:
Skip the 12 and the 15. Buy this instead and drink half as much. Remarkable improvements over the other two. Good stuff.
