A release from Tomatin's Five Virtues series, which gives light to five elements - Fire, Water, Earth, Wood and Metal.
The first, and most significant, virtue in the production cycle is embodied in this edition by the use of carefully selected French, American and Hungarian oak casks during maturation, representative of the many varieties of the 177,000 casks held in a number of 14 warehouses.
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.
Nose: Complex and round, oaky spices with a warming toasted undertone.
Taste: Brown sugar, orange peel, soft vanilla and oaky spice; like a perfectly balanced old fashioned.
Finish: Long and round with rich spice.
