Description
The Tomatin 12 Years Old Bourbon & Sherry Casks 43% Vol. 0.7 l represents a classic Highland single malt that has been a staple of the Tomatin portfolio since its first release in 2004. The Tomatin distillery, located on the edge of the northern Highlands, is known for its soft, fruity whiskies, which are characterized by a particularly calm and slow distillation. The 12-year-old Tomatin first matured in bourbon casks and refill hogsheads, giving it its malty base, subtle sweetness and gentle vanilla notes. This was followed by a finish of around eight months in selected sherry casks, which give the bottling additional depth, fruity intensity and spicy elegance.
This carefully balanced combination of casks gives the Tomatin 12 Years Old a harmonious, multi-layered aroma profile, which is supported by fruity accents such as apples and pears. This is complemented by nutty nuances, a fine malt character and a pleasantly integrated sherry component, which gives the whisky a rounded and balanced appearance. The Highland origin is reflected in the mild, accessible structure, while the 43% vol. gives the whisky a clearly defined, long-lasting expressiveness. The Tomatin 12 Years Old thus exemplifies the gentle, fruity style of the distillery and is one of its most popular bottlings.

Tasting notes:
Color: Warm gold.
Nose: Extremely fruity, with malty and slightly peaty notes.
Taste: Fruity apples and pears, combined with malt, subtle nutty notes and a pleasantly soft sherry note.
Finish: Intense, refreshing and harmoniously long-lasting.
This whisky harmonizes perfectly with mild desserts such as apple strudel, pear cake or caramel cream, as its fruity and malty notes absorb these flavours particularly well. Nut cookies, shortbread or lighter chocolate varieties also go perfectly with its soft structure. Pure, at room temperature or with a small splash of water, it unfolds its multi-layered aroma particularly clearly. It is also ideal for smooth whisky cocktails such as whisky sours or highball variants, in which its fruity, long-lasting style comes into its own. (automated translation)
