Tomatin 16 Year Old Thompson Bros Tasting Notes

Six Years in Ex-Moscatel Wine Casks

What makes this Thompson Bros Highland 16 Year Old particularly interesting is its extended maturation in ex-Moscatel wine casks.

Moscatel is an aromatic style of wine known for its expressive fruit character and natural sweetness. When used for Scotch whisky maturation, Moscatel casks can introduce notes of dried fruit, orange peel, honey and warming richness.

With six years spent in these wine casks, this Tomatin release offers a distinctive combination of mature Highland spirit and generous wine cask influence.
