Tomatin – 2011 (Bottled 2023) Bourbon Discovery Gordon & MacPhail (70cl, 43%)

This Tomatin single malt was distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2023 at 43% by Gordon & MacPhail. It comes from the Discovery range, which is organised into three profiles: Sherry, Smoky and Bourbon. This bottle belongs to the Bourbon group. It was matured in bourbon casks, where American oak adds soft vanilla to the distillery's fruity spirit. The nose combines ripe tropical fruits with green apple and tangerine, then lemon peel, roasted peanuts and soft vanilla. On the palate come pear, citrus and white peach, with malted biscuit, melon and black pepper. The finish is medium-bodied, with mature oak and subtle dried herbs.
