Antiquary 12 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Feminine. Elegant. Having talked myself into an oriental mind-set, I begin to wonder whether this whisky would accompany some Asian dishes.

Antiquary 21 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Robust, hearty, embracing. Not much subtlety, but it knows its own mind. Very enjoyable. I imagine this with a decadent meal in Tangier.

Mackillop's Choice Tomatin 1975, Cask 4
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.20%
7 Perhaps because the distillery was built to make quantity, as a filler, the industry seems universally – but unfairly – to deny the possibility of Tomatin making a truly interesting single. I coul...

Old Malt Cask Tomatin
- Scotland - 50.00%
7 Lovely. Has retained freshness (or taken a long time to get here.

Scott's Selection Tomatin 1988 23 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.60%
7 A dram which needs time to open. Good balance, some complexity and firm body.

The Antiquary 1977 Rare Old Blended
- Scotland - 46.00%
7 Great balance and a real surprise in the mouth...and it's green.

Tomatin 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Simple and straight forward but well composed and enjoyable. A reliable, solid, malt. I always enjoy it.

Tomatin 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 More delicate than I remember.

Tomatin 12 Years Old, 1997 Single Cask #4326
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.10%
7 Lovely texture. The nose is a bit shy, the palate more expressive. Very correct but not terribly exciting.

Tomatin 15 Years OId
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
3 Nothing wrong but surprisingly, nothing exciting. Because it is unidimensional maybe. You are expecting another aromatic layer and it does not come.

Tomatin 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
6 Lacks balance.

Tomatin 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 The nose is appealing but the sherry makes the palate a bit dour. Would certainly warm you up on a frosty morning.

Tomatin 1962
Single Malt - Scotland - 42.20%
7 High maintenance. Beneath that sleek exterior beats a hard, one dimensional heart.

Tomatin 1984
- Scotland - 22.00%
7 Maybe lacks the extra spark that makes it complex but a delicious sweet dram nonetheless

Tomatin 1999 Tempranillo Single Cask #29457
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.10%
6 The musty/butyric note exacerbated by the alcoholic bite, does not make an appealing concoction.

Tomatin 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Reminds of an Irish whiskey! So much exotic fruit and flowering currant. A big character. Not on the sweet side. Which is not a defect.

Tomatin 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 Elegant, intricate and enticing. Mozart with the depth of Beethoven and the agile touch of Liszt?

Tomatin Decades
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 A well balanced dram. With a good malty heart.
