Description
The Tomatin 12 Years Old Bourbon & Sherry Casks 43% Vol. 0.7 l + GB is one of the characteristic bottlings of the traditional Highland distillery and has become a permanent part of the core range since its first release in 2004. Tomatin, located on the edge of the northern Highlands, is known for its soft, accessible and fruity style. The 12-year-old single malt shows this signature particularly clearly and combines classic Highland elements with a carefully balanced selection of casks. It spent its maturation period in bourbon casks and refill hogsheads before being given an eight-month finish in sherry casks. This combination shapes its malty character, fruity accents and harmonious overall expression.
The Tomatin 12 YO impresses with an aroma profile that is carried by a fruity fruit basket of apples and pears, accompanied by malty components, fine nutty notes and a pleasantly integrated sherry tone. A delicate hint of peat provides additional depth without dominating the mild character. At 43% vol., this whisky has a clearly structured, gently warming presence that makes it appear long-lasting and balanced. The elegant gift box underlines the high-quality positioning of this bottling, which appeals to both beginners and experienced whisky connoisseurs.

This Highland single malt is an excellent accompaniment to fine desserts such as apple strudel, pear cake or caramel cream, as its fruity and malty notes elegantly support these flavors. It also harmonizes with nut cookies, shortbread and mild chocolate. Enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water, its complex structure unfolds particularly clearly. The Tomatin 12 Years Old also provides a harmonious, long-lasting base for smooth whisky cocktails - such as a whisky highball or a fruity sour. (automated translation)
