A release from Tomatin's Five Virtues series, which gives light to five elements - Fire, Water, Earth, Wood and Metal.
The third virtue, Earth, is exemplified in an edition rich in intense and - unusually for Tomatin - peaty flavours.
A consequence of maturing whisky made with peat-dried malted barley in refill Hogshead casks.
The Five Virtues Series does not carry an age statement, however Tomatin aim to be as open and transparent as they are allowed to be under EU law.
Only a limited amount of 6000 bottles were produced.
Nose: An intriguing mix of vanilla, burning heather and black fruits with sweet light smoke.
Palate: Unlike any other Tomatin, a salty smokiness with burnt honey and kelp.
Finish: Complex and ever-changing; smoky and sweet.
