🥃 Poured a dram last night after work, proper full gold in the glass first off. Nose is absolutely lovely straight away – got that symphony of plums, oranges, kumquats, even a whiff of banana liqueur, plus gorgeous tropical passion fruit notes peeking through too. Loads of those tiny spicy jammy tones all over, marmalade, fruit compotes and jams everywhere, a little hint of Demerara sugar, vanilla fudge, even touches of chocolate and cappuccino on the sip. Long, rich yet perfectly balanced, right? The aftertaste has that expected nutmeg and cinnamon spice, plus honey and dried fruits lingering for ages. It’s proper great whisky this, honestly. Used to think these old malt spots were so unnoticed in the olden days but this? Perfect. Maybe a tad rougher than other recent 1976s by the same gang but that just adds character, doesn’t it?

Just poured a dram of this full gold beauty and wow, absolutely lovely nose! It’s got those spicy/jammy tones right away, like marmalade on toast. On the palate, it’s rich yet perfectly balanced. Loads of jams and honey, with fruit compotes and dried fruits dancing around. Little bit of cappuccino and chocolate too? Maybe. The finish is long and satisfying. A tad rougher around the edges, but in a good way. Demerara sugar sweetness with some oranges and kumquats. Just perfect. 🥃

Nose is absolutely lovely, like a basket of dried fruits and late harvest white wine all at once—tropical fruits and oranges dancing about. First sip hits rich yet perfectly balanced, with chocolate and banana liqueur weaving through, plus a marmalade sweetness. There's cinnamon and nutmeg spice, but it's not harsh, more like Demerara sugar and honey rounding things out. Jammy texture, almost symphonic plums lingering on the tongue. Finish is proper long, warm and comforting, like a cappuccino after a long day. Proper great whisky this one, makes me think of cosy evenings by the fire. 🥃

Oh wow, this one smells absolutely lovely! 🥃 Getting loads of sweet dried fruits and a bit of that rich marmalade vibe on the nose. Colour's a gorgeous full gold. Tasting it is like biting into a perfectly ripe, slightly tangy kumquat dipped in vanilla fudge. There's this wonderful spicy kick – cinnamon and nutmeg – that cuts through the jammy sweetness. It reminds me a bit of a luxurious cappuccino with that frothy, milky texture. So rich, yet it all hangs together perfectly. The finish just keeps going, with that lingering sweetness of late harvest white wine. 🍯 Really hits the spot.

Absolutely lovely nose – strikes me as having that full gold colour. You get this symphonic plums and oranges situation, plus kumquats and banana liqueur. Marmalade and fruit compotes and jams all over the place, almost jammy. Then there’s that touch of vanilla fudge, a little Demerara sugar, honey and dried fruits. Superb notes of tropical fruits as well, passion fruits! It’s got this late harvest white wine thing going on. Myriads of tinier spicy and jammy tones keep coming through. Touches of chocolate and cappuccino appear late. The finish brings the expected spices – nutmeg and cinnamon here. Long, rich yet perfectly balanced. Maybe a tad rougher than other recent 1976s by the same gang, but that’s part of its charm. It’s funny how Tomatin was so unnoticed in the olden days. This really is a great whisky. 🥃
