We’ll hold discussing and arguing about any actual classic results in whisky for ages, in addition to in regards to the precise explanation why some years are significantly legendary. What’s positive is that ’76 was most likely the Latour ’45 of Tomatin, whereas we’ll do not forget that at the moment, Tomatin was the biggest malt Distillery in Scotland. However first, a wee ’89…

Tomatin 32 yo 1989/2022 (44.9%, Skene, hogshead, cask #100468) 
We have already tried a number of wonderful malts by Edinburgh’s fairly discreet Skene, a stunning firm the place they appear to be busier with bottling good whiskies than with mailing out tons of mindless press releases. Please word that we’ve not received something in opposition to press releases in themselves. Color: white wine. Nostril: pure dry chenin blanc, actually. Chalk, greengage, citron, honeysuckle, elderflowers and acacia blossom. Whiffs of recent vanilla pod within the background. Stunning and charming nostril, all we would want now could be a bunch of langoustines. Mouth: it is unbelievable that we’re discovering extra dry white from the Loire in there, perhaps a reasonably grand Savennières? Some lemon and orange drops, contact of mentholy oak, lemon tarte (with meringue!) after which, this time once more, inexperienced plums, greengages, not-too-ripe mirabelles… End: medium, tart, with a really nice greenness. These greengages once more. Tiny echoes of older wooden within the aftertaste. Feedback: flowers and plums all over, bordering perfection.

Tomatin 45 yo 1976/2022 ‘Warehouse 6 ‘ (46%, OB, hogsheads, casks #32+33, 350 bottles) 
This moderately dear child (north, typically manner north, of 4K€) is a vatting of two hogsheads. I consider we have already stated what we we’re pondering of the classic 1976 at Tomatin (and at different ueber-fruity malt distilleries). Color: gold. Nostril: the fruit part at Fortnum & Mason’s, as we typically say. Or multi-vitamin fruit juice. Or a big basket of tropical fruits, together with wild mangos and ripe ardour fruits, plus a number of sorts of bananas and pineapples. That is merely irresistible, within the league that already gathers Sixties Bowmore or Lochside, to not overlook the perfect batches of Laphroaig 10 (Seventies bottlings). Legends. Mouth: the query was, ‘would not it have turn into slightly oaky?’. The reply is ‘no’. Similar mixture of tropical fruits, plus a floral aspect (these elder and acacia flowers once more, maybe as beignets). In reality this wants no additional literature, it’s merely excellent fruity whisky. End: wonderful zesty, citrusy end, with limes, oranges and tangerines, then numerous zests within the aftertaste. Feedback: extraordinary. You may add some high-class rum and provide you with essentially the most superb Ti’punch ever, supplied cash’s no subject.
