Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래된 호박빛이 잔에 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 올로로소 셰리 캐스크에서 40년을 보낸 하이랜드 Tomatin 40년답게 토마틴의 정갈한 결과 올로로소의 풍성한 단맛이 시간 속에서 우아하게 어우러진다. 코끝에는 건포도, 잘 익은 자두, 옅은 가죽 향이 풍성하게 풀린다. 43도의 도수가 입을 매끄럽게 덮고 마멀레이드, 흑설탕, 호두의 풍미가 발전한다. 여운에서는 묵은 셰리의 단맛이 길게 머문다.

gold
air Nose
no sherry bomb, and one that’s so totally Tomatin! Not sure this baby contains a lot of, or maybe even exclusively some 1976, but what’s sure is that 1976 was a great vintage! Perfect tarte tatin, light menthol, cigar box, honeydew, cedar wood, beeswax, and more apple pie(s), then rather dried tropical fruits, not unlike these mixes they make as snacks for our aperitifs. Bananas, papayas… I find it totally perfect, fresh, complex, and true to the distillery
restaurant Palate
a touch of oak, then a perfect, very fresh avalanche of more dried and fresh tropical fruits (oranges first) as well as raisins, the expected honey and mint combination, and then more oak spices, as often in these oldies. Around cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Also strong mint-floured black tea. Yet, the sherry remained rather discreet, those should have been refill butts
timer Finish
medium, more mentholated, with a wee turpentine-y aftertaste
