2025-05-09
Nose
The first impression feels like strolling through a market stall brimming with dried fruits: blended raisins, cranberries, dates, and figs dominate. Sweet notes of caramelized sugar and cinnamon add warmth, while a hint of fresh leather in the rain elevates its complexity.
Taste
On the palate, the Tomatin reveals itself as both opulent and refined. The dried fruit notes persist, with raisins and dates taking center stage, accompanied by a subtle touch of chocolate. The texture is intensely oily, almost velvety, ensuring the flavors linger beautifully.
Finish
The finish showcases the whisky’s full maturity. Once again, the dried fruits come to the forefront, this time paired with a pleasant dryness of tannins and a distinct oakiness. The long and alluring aftertaste makes for a fitting finale.
Thoughts
This whisky is a tribute to sherry cask maturation. Its flavors unfold in full cask dominance without ever feeling overwhelming. The result is a classic, intense sherry whisky that captivates connoisseurs with its depth and offers newcomers an exciting journey through the world of dried fruits. The Tomatin 2006/2024 is not an experimental dram but rather a masterpiece of tradition – and that’s precisely what makes it so remarkable.
