Tomatin's single malt is not the best known, even if it is coming from the biggest distillery of Scotland. Such a malt is often looked at with some suspicion. This is the wrong approach. The aromas of the non chill filtered version are wonderful. The spicy taste is very rich, with the additional character due to the filtration. The finish is very long and pleasant.


The second tasting just confirmed this bottle is a very good one. This kind of indefinable but very pleasant smell is still present, followed by a high degree of complexity in the palate... The exceptionally long finish crowns the whole.


At the third tasting, a doubt about this strange smell which could be described by wet earth clear floral hints is still present. Roses staying on wet earth for a while. In the palate, a very nice complexity, going from malt mixed with citrus fruits with clear bitter notes, unripe walnut, oak. A trip through all the range of possible tastes. A very nice finish, with still the presence of this bitter/flowery hints a chill filtration did not destroy. A very nice bottle.
