Description
The Tomatin 18 Years Old Oloroso Sherry Casks is an elegant Highland single malt Scotch whisky, 46 per cent ABV, in a 0.7-litre bottle, presented in a high-quality gift box. The historic Tomatin Distillery, situated south of Inverness, is renowned for its smooth and fruit-forward Highland whiskies. This 18-year-old single malt spends the majority of its maturation in traditional oak casks and receives its final finishing in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts. This finish lends the whisky additional depth, an elegant sherry sweetness and exceptional complexity. The long maturation period and careful cask selection make the Tomatin 18 Years Old one of the distillery’s most renowned bottlings and underline the distillery’s characteristically smooth style.
The Tomatin 18 Years Old Oloroso Sherry Casks combines classic Highland elegance with the intense influences of high-quality Oloroso sherry casks. The combination of traditional oak cask maturation and a finish in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts results in a full-bodied and harmonious whisky with exceptional depth. Despite its complexity, it remains pleasantly approachable and delights with its well-balanced blend of fruit, nuttiness and subtle spice.
