Tasting Notes by Distillery Manager, Graham Eunson:
"In true celebratory fashion, this single malt is bursting with aroma. Dried tropical fruits are first to greet the nose before a mix of nuts, dark chocolate and honey."
"Much like the history of Tomatin itself, the palate is slow to open with gentle hints of fresh orange and apricot, it then becomes more intense with notes of dried fruit and spices before a wave of Oloroso Sherry driven flavours."
"The flavour recedes, leaving an elegant, rich sweetness to linger."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a walnut-tinged mahogany edge; a warm, honey-bronze glow that hints at decades in sherry cask.
Nose
Dried tropical fruits burst from the glass, giving way to hints of roasted nuts, dark chocolate and honey; a lush, inviting aromatic spectrum that promises sweetness and depth.
Palate
On the palate, it opens slowly with hints of orange and apricot, expanding into dried fruits and warm spices. A wave of Oloroso Sherry-driven flavors fills the mid-palate, then recedes into an elegant, rich sweetness that lingers long and softly.
Finish
As the last notes fade, a refined, rich sweetness lingers, an echo of dried fruit, nuts and honey, warmed by Oloroso depth.
