Introducing the Tomatin Five Virtues Series Wood Limited Edition, a remarkable Highland single malt whisky that pays homage to the vital elements that embody the natural world. Bottled in 2017, this limited edition release of only 6000 bottles is a true collector's gem. With an ABV of 46% and a volume of 700ml, this exquisite whisky comes nestled in a beautifully designed presentation box featuring artwork by contemporary artist Eva Ullrich, who visually represents the series' thematic elements. Matured in a carefully selected mix of French (70% 2006 vintage), American (20% 2006 vintage), and Hungarian (10% 1999 vintage) oak casks, this expression celebrates the profound impact of wood on whisky. Drawing from the proud history of the Tomatin Distillery, which once stood as the largest distillery in Scotland, the Wood edition captures the essence of their traditional craftsmanship and innovative spirit. Since 1897, Tomatin has combined soft mountain water with local barley, distilling it in towering copper stills and aging it in oak barrels to produce a mild, fruity spirit that borders on alchemy. The Wood edition is part of Tomatin's Five Virtues Series, which includes Fire, Water, Metal, Wood, and Earth. Each bottle in the series reflects the synergy of these natural elements, resulting in flavors and aromas that far exceed the sum of their parts. Despite the distillery's reduction to 12 stills and a production capacity of around 5 million liters per annum, Tomatin continues to produce approximately 2 million liters annually, showcasing their commitment to quality and tradition. This exquisite whisky boasts a complex and rounded aroma, featuring oaky spices with a warming toasted undertone. On the palate, expect rich flavors of brown sugar, orange peel, soft vanilla, and spicy oak, reminiscent of a perfectly balanced Old Fashioned. The finish is long and round, infused with rich spices that leave a lingering sweetness. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or new to the world of whisky, the Tomatin Five Virtues Series Wood Limited Edition offers a unique and captivating experience that's perfect for sipping, sharing, and savoring.
