Tomatin Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 9 Year Old · 2007 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with a coppery glow and a hint of mahogany, a warm, sherried hue.

Nose

Opulent and warming, the nose releases burnt sugar, toffee and creamy vanilla over rich oak. Sherry influence yields dark fruit—raisin, fig and plum—with cocoa, almond and hazelnut. Spices bloom—cinnamon and clove—while orange zest, leather and a hint of alcohol lend a decadent, cask-strength allure.

Palate

Full-bodied and boldly warming, this cask-strength dram pours sherry-rich richness across the palate. Dried fig, date and plum meld with dark cherry, cocoa and toffee, underpinned by polished oak. Spices—clove, cinnamon, nutmeg—interlace with espresso and roasted almond. A velvety, persistent heat carries a long finish of citrus zest and a whisper of tobacco.

Finish

Long, warming finish with sherried sweetness and spice. Dried fruit, fig and raisin mingle with cocoa and toasted oak; a touch of orange zest lingers as the alcohol slowly fades, leaving a polished, velvety glow.
