Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Floral. Bergamot. Tobacco.
Palate
Well rounded. Fleshy. Voluptuous. Syrupy. Malty. Fudge-like.
Finish
Spicy. Cedary.
Comment
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 could certainly enjoy this one after dinner.

Dave Broom

Nose
Mature, slightly fungal, nose: chestnut, mushroom, then out comes milk chocolate, sticky toffee pudding and oak.
Palate
Big, fat, toffeeish, then coconut. Big and spicy: cinnamon, orange and vanilla.
Finish
Fruity and ripe.
Comment
Lovely, soft and sweet.
