New Releases: Tomatin – The Italian Collection – Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The Italian Collection
Located in the Scottish Highlands, not far from Inverness, the Tomatin distillery produces a range of traditionally rich, sweet and malty single malt whiskies. The Italian collection consists of three limited releases that are finished in Italian wine casks that previously held some of Italy’s most famous wines.
AMARONE CASK
70cl | 12 Year Old | 46% ABV
Aromas of poached pears and traditional rhubarb and custard sweets lead, while on the palate notes of strawberry jam are accompanied by Turkish delight and light butter pastry. The finish is rich with cinnamon spiced red apple.
BAROLO CASK
70cl | 12 Year Old | 46% ABV
Aromas of mulled wine and dark chocolate lead, while on the palate there are notes of spiced mead with cranberry and an underlying fresh citrus in the form of grapefruit. Light tannin and sugared almonds linger on the finish.
MARSALA CASK
70cl | 12 Year Old | 46% ABV
Aromas of panettone and candied lime lead, while flavours of white chocolate, lemon truffles and hazelnut balance perfectly on the palate. Sweet citrus returns on the finish with blood orange accompanying notes of toasted oak.
