Tomatin 2006 Fino Sherry Casks (UK Exclusive)

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 05 February 2021). Distilled: 10 November 2006 1 of 1,691 bottles 2no Fino sherry butts (39350 & 39351) were filled on 12th November 2015 with a 9 year old whisky Nose: Orchard fruit, plum, pear. Slightly nutty Palate: Dry sherry, bread, lemon/citrus, green apples (Granny Smith), light green herbs Finish: Apple cider vinegar. Quite sour on the aftertaste. Very long, dry finish with a very strong dry sherry note. There is a lovely crisp, fresh mouthfeel to this whisky. You don't see many whiskies finished in Fino casks, but this seems to be quite a dominant taste, especially on the finish. If you like a dry sherry (particularly Fino) this is definitely worth trying. Came joint last out of the six whiskies, with 4% of the final vote for favourite of the night (1 vote), however this is possibly because there was an absolute standout dram at the tasting which was the runaway winner of the night. 61% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky (14 votes).
