scotch whisky Whisky

Gordon and MacPhail, Tomatin 1989 29 Year old

RRP £250

There are similarities between the two Tomatin whiskies in our selection, of which this is the second, but the subtle differences are enough of an excuse to try both. Here there is lots of fruit on the nose and the palate has plenty of sherbet, making it lively and fresh with generous fruit. The fruit is like a tropical style of sauvignon blanc, and the finish is surprisingly long.
