Strathdearn (Tomatin) 10 Year Old 2014 Madeira Wine Finish (50%)

Strathdearn is the name under which Glaschu Spirits Company bottles Tomatin, a Highland distillery in the Monadhliath Mountains near Loch Ness. This single cask 10 year old was distilled in 2014 and bottled at 50%, with natural colour and without chill filtration. It runs to 324 bottles. The whisky spent its first nine years in a refill bourbon barrel, then a final year finishing in a first-fill Madeira wine cask. That finish adds apricot, caramel, custard and warming spice to the spirit. The label shows the Viperfish, a homemade fibreglass submarine used by Dan Taylor in his searches for the Loch Ness Monster.
