The Tomatin Cask Strength Bourbon & Sherry is a lively and expressive addition to Tomatin's core range, first released in 2015. This Highland single malt whisky is bottled at cask strength, 57.5% ABV, and has a rich and sweet character. It has been matured in a classic combination of first-fill ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso Sherry casks, which gives it a unique flavor profile.
On the nose, you can detect fresh and sweet fruits, spices, caramel, and ginger biscuits. The palate is dominated by a sweet and very pronounced flavor, with notes of malt loaf, marzipan, and fresh fruits. The finish is dry, spicy, and lingering.
This whisky has not been chill-filtered and has no added coloring, allowing the true flavors of the spirit to shine through. The combination of bourbon and oloroso-sherry casks allows the distillery's spirit to shine through, along with notes of golden syrup, ginger, malt, and marzipan. It is a perfect combination of strength and smoothness, making it a must-try for cask strength whisky lovers.
Unofficially, it is around 9-10 years old, though it is a Non-Age Statement (NAS) whisky.
Adding a few drops of water can enhance the balance and fruitiness of the whisky, making both the nose and palate more enjoyable.
When released in 2016, it was priced around £40, making it a fairly priced cask strength whisky.
No, this whisky has not been chill-filtered and has no added coloring, allowing the true flavors of the spirit to come through.
The Tomatin Cask Strength is a very solid expression from the distillery. It drinks well at full strength, but a few drops of water really benefit both the nose and the palate, increasing balance and heightening the underlying fruitiness of the whisky. While some find it a bit too young, it is well-priced and comparable to other NAS cask strength whiskies. Overall, it’s a decent, straightforward malt that showcases both the spirit and cask influences.
