Tomatin – Tri Carragh – Single Cask # Refill Sherry Butt 1986 36 year old Whisky

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep 23CT gold, old Sauternes. American oak re-fill cask? Light beading; very good legs.

Aroma: A mild and mellow nose-feel. The top notes are fruity – a
fruit salad with ripe Ogen melon, tinned pear, mandarin, and possibly a spoonful of double cream. A light medicinal-herbal note emerges in the development, becoming faintly meaty with a drop of water.

Taste: A voluptuous texture and a sweet taste overall, with mixed
fruit flavours in mid-palate, some white pepper in the finish and white chocolate in the aftertaste, with just a hint of desiccated coconut. No change at reduced strength.

Comment: A delicious example of the make which remains fresh after all these years and has not been dominated by wood-derived flavours.
