A release from Tomatin's Five Virtues series, which gives light to five elements - Fire, Water, Earth, Wood and Metal.
This fifth and final edition is their Water expression, represented by naturally pure soft Water from theAlt-na-Frith burn.
Drawn year-round, this edition deliberately employs winter-distilled spirit where
reduced contact with our copper stills enriches the final flavour.
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: Mature fruity flavours with chocolate honeycomb.
Palate: Rich toffee and marzipan with blood orange marmalade.
Finish: Warming with a long and oily finish.
Jim Murray has scored this Tomatin Five Virtues Water 72/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible.
‘A small degree of molasses chocolate escapes the grim sulphured tightness of the sherry’.
