Tomatin 1982 Single Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 44%

Score: 93 Points

Cask #92 was a refill ex-sherry puncheon, and gives this malt a dry and fruity nose with orange peel, nuttiness, and hints of smoke and charred wood. The taste is dry, mouthfilling, and spicy with a cinnamon blast that fades to reveal brandied orange peels, hazelnut, and a touch of grapes neat. Water adds complexity and syrupy caramel sweetness. The finish is lingering, spicy, and dry with a touch of brandy.
