Tomatin 18 yo, Oloroso Sherry Casks, 46%

Review #839

This 18 year old Tomatin have gotten a final maturation in first fill Oloroso Sherry Butts. After a couple of minutes in the glass, it really starts to open up. Dried fruits and marmalade in the smell.

A taste explosion at first in the taste. Besides the dried fruits, you get a little citrus at first and then some oak and coconut. The finish is just sweet and smooth, with the sherried notes staying behind for quite a while.

This just reminds me of a good old Scotch whisky. A bottle that will last for a while, as you can sit and enjoy a dram for quite some time. The Oloroso Sherry butts is really doing a great job, and I wouldn’t mind Tomatin making a full Oloroso matured 18 year old! I will give this 88/100 (22/21/23/22).
