WM Cadenheads Tomatin 16yr 750ml

Wm Cadenhead's Tomatin 16 Year is an independent bottling from Scotland's oldest independent bottler, drawn from a single Highland malt distilled at Tomatin in 2009 and re-racked into Manzanilla sherry hogsheads. Cadenhead's bottles at cask strength or near it, without chill-filtration or added color, so what's in the bottle is the cask's actual output. Expect a buttery nose of cognac, brandy snap and banana, moving into chamomile tea, orange peel, milk chocolate and cardamom on the palate, with a savory finish of pretzel, salted bread and caramelized brown sugar. A malt for drinkers who want a Manzanilla cask's citrus-and-tea character rather than a heavier oloroso profile.

How to drink Wm Cadenhead's Tomatin 16 Year

Neat, in a Glencairn glass, with a few drops of water if the cask strength runs hot — the Manzanilla influence is subtle and best caught undiluted at first. This isn't one for mixing; it's a single-cask bottling meant to be tasted on its own.
