Whisky Forum - Tomatin 14 year Port cask, 46%abv

Tasted this one at my single malt scotch club on Feb 3rd.

My taste notes-

Nose: Fruity explosion, mild spice, cantaloupe, toffee flakes and citrus ice wine with orange accents. Just a lovely nose here that jumps out at you. It really opens up over time, even enhancing the aforementioned aromas.

Taste: Citrus and exotic fruits, chocolate nougat, fading spice and mocha essences . Mouth-watering.

Finish: Dark chocolate, plum pudding and citrus sweet candy.

***This is a robust dram in my view which lets it all hang out in a good way. The 46% abv seems to be a real "sweet spot" here for this expression.

Rating: 90

General comment: This one for me was the star of the 3 drams I tasted at my single malt club this evening ( see my other 2 reviews on the Taste Notes section of the Forum).

Cheers for the notes, sounds good, i do enjoy a port finished whisky when the mood takes me. I will need to add the Tomatin 14 port finish to my list of whiskies to try.
