Official tasting Notes
Nose: Delicate elderflower and flowering apple blossoms are layered with creamy vanilla. Summer pear, and freshly cut grass aromas open into candied sweets and nuances of lemon sherbet.
Palate: Banana and peaches; laced with thick heather honey and light dustings of cocoa powder. Traces of creamy vanilla rests on the palate with a gentle herbal edge.
Finish: Lingering oak; slowly fading to reveal soft hints of citrus.

About Tomatin Distillery
The Tomatin Distillery is located in the Scottish Highland and was first registered on 8th June 1897. After surviving through a few closures over 90 odd years, the Distillery was purchased by two Japanese companies, Takara Shuzo and Okura & Co. in 1986. Tomatin’s classic house style is an unpeated, light, soft and fruity whisky and with a first-class wood policy in place, they’re now using a higher percentage of first-fill casks that really helps the spirit shine, earning rave reviews along the way.
