This exquisite dram has benefitted from its time spent in tawny port casks, which previously held port for around 50 years and are testament to Tomatin’s first-class wood policy. Rich yet balanced aromas of red berries, sweet honey and rich toffee develop into aspects of light fruits and nuts on the palate, leading into an abiding finish of smooth fruit salad.
Tomatin 14 Year Old Tawny Port Tasting Notes
- Nose – Top notes of fresh peach, mandarin, watermelon and apple with deeper forest fruits like cherry and blackberry. There’s a touch of milk chocolate and a pop of honeycomb. Notes of clove and cardamom grow in intensity before another wave of fruit.
- Palate – The freshness on the nose has been preserved into a raspberry and strawberry jam, apricot compote, glace cherry and crystallised ginger. Caramelised figs, prunes and nutty tones are indicative of the rich tawny port that once occupied these casks.
- Finish – A silky texture coats the mouth with jammy fruits and Byzantium spice.
