Tomatin has
added a 12 Year Old 100% Sherry Cask matured single malt whisky to its core range.
Highland distillery Tomatin
today announced a new addition to its core
range, the Tomatin 12 Year Old
Sherry Cask.
The Tomatin 12 Year Old Sherry Cask
builds on the sherry profile that you
find in Tomatin's classic 12 Year Old
which is a combination of bourbon and
sherry cask matured whisky, the new 12
Year Old Sherry Cask has been fully
matured in Sherry Casks for 12 years,
the distillery tells me 75% First Fill
sherry casks and 25% 2nd fill sherry
butts.
According to the distillery, the result
of this 100% Sherry Cask
maturation is a remarkable dram that
epitomises the exceptional
craftsmanship, tradition, and quality of
Highland malt, combining decadent, rich
flavours imparted by the sherry casks.
This latest release features a striking
new design, encased in a vivid scarlet
exterior embossed with opulent gold foil
accents, paying homage to the intricate
flavours imparted by the sherry wood
during the cask maturation process.
Scott Adamson, Blender & Global Brand
Ambassador at Tomatin Distillery,
commenting on the new dram, said: "The
global demand for well-matured sherried
malts, particularly in markets like
Asia, has inspired this latest addition
to our core range. Tomatin has a unique
ability to balance tradition with
innovation, embracing our time-honoured
techniques and contemporary practices to
push the boundaries of flavour
exploration. For over a century, Tomatin
has featured sherry casks in our
maturation process, and this new release
stands as the next evolution of this
tradition.
"Our 12 Year Old Sherry Cask captures
the essence of our renowned 12 Year Old,
enhancing its signature smoothness and
focusing its aromatic profile to create
a sherry cask whisky with a depth of
flavour that is luxuriously indulgent."
I haven't had a chance to taste the new
Tomatin 12 Year Old Sherry Cask yet so I
cant comment on its quality or just how
big a sherried dram but i will update
you when I do get a chance to taste it,
meanwhile the
official tasting note is below for you
to consider. It is bottled at 40% ABV
and has a RRP of £52, it
brings Tomatin’s core range portfolio to
six, offering a diverse range of
expressions matured in different cask
types, each with their own distinctive
flavours and unique characteristics.
You will find the Tomatin 12 Year Old Sherry Cask along with the
rest of the current
Tomatin whisky range available from specialist online whisky
shops such as
