This Tomatin was so unusual we had to include it. Ostensibly a classic sherry cask whisky, this has incredible hidden depths of flavour and seems to change with every sip.
More info can be found for this bottle on Royal Mile Whiskies.

Here are my notes:
Nose: On a second pass it’s totally pancakes and maple syrup, although it didn’t seem to be there first time. Plus a hint of eucalyptus oil.
Taste: At first the sweetness hits, but then it turns quite bitter. Really rich, sherry sulphur rubberiness!
Finish: Coffee and walnut cake
Yeah, actually get that maple syrup on the tongue too now I’m tryung it again
Nose: not massively smelly, slightly floral, pineapple maybe, toffees.
Taste; really nice, surprisingly subtle sherry flavours. Starts with metallic back of mouth flavours, before shifting to wood and chocolate, finally ramping up to a gently spicy lingering finish.
Yes mate.
I’m still not sure if I like this or not, but was interesting!
Nose: Massive maple syrup, burnt caramel, old pears
Taste: Oh wow, so dry – it’s like licking a dusty cupboard! Very woody, with a dry sherry influence that I normally enjoy – jury’s out for this one.
Finbish: Like a bee sting
Nose: Apple Sourz and sticky toffee pudding. White chocolate.
Taste: pine air freshener. Quite bitter.
Finish: Tesco’s own brand toothpaste. Medium.
Score: 5.8
not much on the nose for me (but I do have a bit of a cold)
liked the taste – i got honey and raisins
finish reminded me of of the smws “whiskey flavoured condoms” bottle I once bought
