Uber-fruity Tomatin bottled at cask strength, this one also exists in low strangth version. Fantastic after dinner dram.

Tasting notes

From Whiskyfun.com
Colour: gold.
Nose: very punchy but also more aromatic than all the others, with more various fruits well in the style of the 1960s at Tomatin. Guavas, apples, pineapples and quite some vanilla. With water: exceptional. All topical fruits plus vanilla fudge, raisins and very ripe figs. Emphatic, as they say.
Mouth (neat): extremely strong but fantastic! Beautiful spices mixed with all sorts of overripe and dried fruits, figs, passion fruits, bananas and orange blossom honey. Cask strength baklava ;-). With water: just excellent! Same flavours, only more drinkable. Also a little more oak.
Finish: long, nervous, jammy. Curcuma on passion fruits.
Comments: it’s rather easy to come across ‘new old’ Tomatins but ‘old old’ ones are getting rare. Well, this one is superb, with its typical notes of tropical fruits that most modern Tomatins have lost. Why? SGP:641- 92 points
