Tomatin distillery is located in the Village to Tomatin which is South of Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland. The distillery was founded in the 16th century for local purchases of jugs for farmers and then was later fully established as Tomatin in 1897.
Tomatin 14 has a nice balance and soft taste on the first tasting. As I sipped more I grew to really enjoy this expression for the age and the price point . The whisky is 100% malted barley, natural color, non-chilled filtered, aged 14 years in ex-bourbon/ex-port barrels, and bottled at 46% abv. Tomatin 14 is more of summer styled scotch as it is a little sweet, but not too sweet. It is a far better expression than the 12 year old and much better on the wallet than the 18 year old.
Priced around $75+ and worth money if you like summer styled flavor profile. I will be picking up a bottle this summer.
