Tomatin 2001 - Cask #34872
Nose:
Rich with an intensely sweet opening bringing notes of maple syrup, candied walnuts, prunes and rum soaked sultanas.
PX, despite being the sweetest wine in the world, has a way of presenting intriguing bitter aromas like dark chocolate, treacle, espresso and leather.
With time, more dried fruit emerges with hints of dried apricot and raisins along with a touch of cinnamon.
Taste:
An incredible mouthfeel, almost chewy, the sweetness spreads with notes of cherry and plum liqueurs followed by golden syrup and Jamaican ginger cake. All of the bitter aromas from the nose make an appearance but always under a sweet guise.
Finish:
This is a bold whisky throughout, and the mix of dark sweetness, bitter notes and spice lingers for quite some time.
