Finish: Lingering and luscious. Hints of sugarcane, nutmeg, and buttery oak fade into a gently spiced finale.

Production Details:

Customer Reviews:
🗨️ “Like a tropical breeze through a Highland glen. Bright, rich, and beautifully odd.”
🗨️ “Rum and Scotch in harmony — sweet, spicy, and unforgettable.”
🗨️ “One of the most fun Tomatins I’ve ever tasted. A sunshine dram.”

Interesting Fact:
While rum casks are often used as finishes, this Tomatin was fully matured in them, allowing for deeper integration of flavor and a more robust, tropical profile that doesn’t overpower the malt.

Serving Suggestions:
Sip neat in a wide-mouthed glass to explore the full wave of fruit and spice. A few drops of water will soften the oak and bring out more creamy banana and citrus. Pairs beautifully with grilled pineapple, caramel desserts, or a cigar with a sweet finish.
