The Tomatin 2009 single malt whisky is a distinguished product of the renowned Highland distillery, Tomatin. Bottled in 2021 by the acclaimed independent bottler, Gordon & MacPhail, for their Discovery range, this expression exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of ex-bourbon oak maturation. Distilled in 2009, it boasts an ABV of 43% and comes in a 700ml bottle, showcasing the depth and complexity that aficionados have come to expect from Tomatin. Upon nosing, this whisky greets you with a delightful aroma of juicy pears, heather honey, and subtle floral notes. Over time, these scents evolve, revealing a slight sweetness. The palate is initially peppery, then transitions to rich vanilla, toasted oak, and herbal hints, with a pronounced fruity character on the second sip. The finish is gentle and satisfying, leaving a sweet, refreshing aftertaste that becomes increasingly drier with a lasting oak note. Tomatin Distillery, once the largest in Scotland, has a storied history that includes overcoming financial difficulties in the 1980s. Now owned by Japanese proprietors, Tomatin operates with 12 stills and a capacity of 5 million liters per annum. Gordon & MacPhail, founded in 1895 and currently owned by the Urquhart family, is a highly respected independent bottler of Scotch whisky. They've bottled over 350 different expressions from around 69 different distilleries and own the Benromach distillery. This Tomatin 2009 expression is a proud member of their Discovery selection, emphasizing their commitment to quality and diversity in Scotch whisky.
This whisky is unique due to its maturation in ex-bourbon oak casks, which imparts rich vanilla and toasted oak flavors, complemented by its Highland origins and the craftsmanship of both Tomatin Distillery and Gordon & MacPhail.

The Tomatin 2009 GM Discovery Bourbon Cask Matured whisky is a well-crafted expression that offers a balanced and evolving experience. The initial light fruit and floral notes give way to a rich and spicy palate, making it an engaging dram. While the finish is relatively weak, it remains unspectacular but pleasant. Overall, it is a good whisky, especially for its price point. Definitely worth considering for a second bottle.
