The Tomatin Five Virtues Series Earth Limited Edition is the third release from the esteemed Five Virtues range, which showcases the elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. This concept is deeply rooted in the age-old processes and materials employed by the skilled craftsmen at Tomatin Distillery. Since 1897, Tomatin has been merging soft mountain water with delicate local barley, channeling it through tall copper stills, and allowing it to mature over the years in oak casks. This intricate process approaches alchemy, revealing the extraordinary elements of nature in all their splendor. For this unique expression, Tomatin has employed peated barley, a rare occurrence happening only two weeks each year. The whisky is bottled at 46% ABV and limited to just 6000 bottles. The result is a harmonious blend of subtle peat, refreshing fruits, and aromatic herbs, captured perfectly in each 700ml bottle. The nose offers an intriguing mix of vanilla, burning heather, and black fruits with sweet, light smoke. The palate unfolds with salted caramel and a distinct salty smokiness, complemented by burnt honey and kelp. The finish is complex and ever-changing, smoky yet sweet, leaving a lingering impression. An uncomplicated whisky that's easy to drink, this expression is a delight for both beginners and connoisseurs alike. The balance of subtle peat, refreshing fruits, and aromatic herbs makes it an everyday dram with a unique twist.
