Highland Powerhouse, Unfiltered

There’s no hiding behind water here. Tomatin Cask Strength is bottled as nature intended, bold, uncut, and unfiltered.

Tasting Profile

Nose:
Imagine walking into a spice merchant’s workshop, cinnamon bark, roasted almonds, warm vanilla, and a whisper of orange peel, all layered on a base of toasted oak.

Palate:
Viscous, mouth-coating, and unapologetically full. Toffee apples, honeyed cereal, dark chocolate, and sherry-soaked sultanas clash and harmonize in a crescendo of Highland drama. Each sip is an experience in weight and warmth.

Finish:
Long, luxurious, and spicy. Notes of nutmeg, charred oak, and dried apricots linger like a fine cigar after dusk. It doesn’t fade, it evolves.
