Tomatin Slochmor Cask Strength Whisky Miniature 16 Year Old · 1978 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-mahogany highlights.

Nose

Opulent sherry-laced nose of dried fig, prune and raisin, with orange zest and dark cherry. Cocoa, toffee and espresso drift over toasted almond and oak spice, while a warming, peppery edge from cask strength lingers. Leather and tobacco add a refined, resinous finish.

Palate

Powerful and velvety on the palate, this whisky coats the tongue with thick, warming richness. Dried plum, fig and raisin mingle with dark chocolate, orange zest and toasted almond, all carried by lush sherry depth. Cinnamon and clove spice thread through the oak, while caramel and a touch of tobacco add depth. A long, warming finish of ripe fruit, spice and cask-strength heat.

Finish

Long, warming and highly lingering, the finish coats the palate with dark fruit, rich oak, and cocoa, followed by a peppery-spice fade. A refined drying sweetness lingers, with hints of orange zest, tobacco, and leather as the final, enduring echo.
