TOMATIN 30 ans 1993 1ST FILL SHERRY PUNCHEON Connoisseurs Choice Upper Gordon & Macphail

This Tomatin, distilled in 1993, was aged for 30 years in first-fill Sherry puncheons before being bottled at its natural proof of 58.10%. This spicy, woody Highland single malt opens with aromas of hazelnut, apple and orange. Founded in 1897 in the Cairngorm Mountains, Tomatin has become one of Scotland's largest distilleries. After rapid expansion in the 1960s and 1970s, it went through difficult times, including a sale in 1986. Today, Tomatin is renowned for the quality of its single malts, often aged in sherry or wine casks, and remains a key player in Scotch whisky. Created in 1968 by the great whisky visionary, “Mr George” Urquhart, the “Connoisseurs Choice” range now includes over 2,000 bottlings from a hundred Scottish distilleries. The story behind each “Connoisseurs Choice” whisky is told on its label: cask type, bottling date, degree, vintage and tasting notes. Always unchill-filtered, these rare single casks and small-batch expressions have been created thanks to Gordon & MacPhail's unique expertise in marrying distillate and oak casks, passed down through four generations of the same family.
