Tomatin ‘Single Cask’ 1992 (20 year old) 53.9%
Sherry Cask 31497
Dist: 1992 Btl: 2012
Tasted: Dec 2012
Quite an intense, nutty, but pure, almost amontillado-esque nose. Some deft coffee arrives with some herbal notes, then the spices arrive – waves of crunchy cinnamon coated barley followed by plummy dried fruit and dark honey. Not a huge amount of distillery character but a stunning depth and very clean!
The palate is silky, soft and nutty, with that amontillado-esque laced fruit. The tannins and alcohol build and mask the middle but the finish is so juicy and luscious with a riot of sultana, dried cherry and moist coffee drizzled, nutty barley. Quite soft, even at cask strength with a lovely, deftly sugared finish.
With water a slight blemish shows on the nose but the aromas have become quite amontillado-salty with hints of blood orange, vanilla and crumbly spices. The palate is less intense and again shows that blemish. A bit short now and slightly bitter but there is plenty of roasted coffee bean notes now.
