This baby was transferred to sherry-treated hogsheads in 2013, so it’s been a rather long finishing. No flash aromatisation here. Colour: deep gold. Nose: success! When you get shoe polish and walnut cakes, plus many herbal teas and tobaccos, that’s always good news. I think Tomatin makes for a perfect base for careful and smart proper finishings. In other words, no fights and no dissonances to be experienced here. Lovely lovely nose. Mouth: love this. Tobacco, walnut cake, bitter oranges, Werther’s Originals, bergamots, and dry raisins. Perfect strength, perfect balance. Finish: medium, and very cake-y. Café latte. Nice sappy/leafy touch in the aftertaste. Comments: this one reminds me of one of Glenmorangie’s earlier finishings, I just can’t remember which one. Perhaps was it the Sherry Wood, after all…
