A single cask Tomatin from the Highlands, distilled in 2002 and bottled at a cask strength of 57.3% in a 70cl bottle. It is 14 years old, and the outturn is 300 bottles. The whisky matured in a re-charred American oak hogshead and was then finished in ex-red wine casks, which adds a rich, vinous character. The nose shows dark fruit, red wine, oak and soft spices. The palate is powerful, with cherries, red berries, caramel and toasted wood. The finish is long, warm, intense and spicy.
