Profile: What Makes Tomatin 18 Year Old Special

Tomatin 18 Year Old is a “fully grown” Highlander: it matures in traditional oak casks and first-fill oloroso sherry butts. This brings dried fruit, nougat and nutty notes that join tropical fruit and a full, soft finish. The bottling was awarded at the World Whisky Awards in 2014.

The Tomatin distillery was founded in 1897 south of Inverness and worked with only two stills until 1958. In the 1970s, with 12.5 million litres a year, it was the largest distillery in Scotland. In 1986 it was rescued by Takara Shuzo and Okura & Co, making it the first Scottish distillery under Japanese control. Today it operates six wash stills and six spirit stills.

Tasting Notes: What Tomatin 18 Year Old Tastes Like

  • Nose: Lots of fruit as in an orchard, plus cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup and some smoky heather; sultanas, winter spices, ripe grapes and cloves
  • Palate: Delicately sweet with distinct citrus fruit and dark chocolate, a little oak; honeycomb, barley sugar, oranges and cocoa
  • Finish: Long finish, sweet and dry; warming, chocolatey-fruity and slightly spicy

Review with rating of 3 out of 5 stars

Geruch: süß mit Sherrynote, der noch süßer wird mit Wasser.
Geschmack: im ersten Moment würzig, nicht trocken mit einer lang anhaltenden Schärfe und einem leichten Eichengeschmack.
Abgang: mittellang
Kommentar: gut abgerundeter Whisky, die 18 Jahre gleichen die Jugend eines 10-12-jährigen gut aus. Im Vergleich zu 21-jährigen fehlt aber noch ein ganzes Stück und gegen Cask-strengh-Oloroso- Versionen keine Chance. Ein Whisky nebenbei für einen gemütlichen Abend - Super.

the best I've had from the Tomatin distillery. nose woody, from fresh to misty – forest after the rain, with a whiff of vanilla. taste chocolate pudding, the oak is there, a bit of dark fruit. Yummy!
