Tomatin 2006 Fino Sherry Casks (UK Exclusive)

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, February 5, 2021). Distilled: November 10, 2006 1 of 1,691 bottles Two Fino sherry butts (39350 & 39351) were filled on November 12, 2015, with a 9-year-old whisky. Nose: Orchard fruit, plum, pear. Slightly nutty. Palate: Dry sherry, bread, lemon/citrus, green apples (Granny Smith), light green herbs. Finish: Apple cider vinegar. Quite sour on the aftertaste. Very long, dry finish with a very strong dry sherry note. This whisky has a wonderfully crisp, fresh mouthfeel. Fino cask finishes aren't common, but this seems to be a quite dominant flavor, especially on the finish. If you enjoy dry sherry (particularly Fino), this is definitely worth trying. It tied for last place out of the six whiskies, receiving 4% of the final vote for favorite of the night (1 vote). However, this might be because there was an absolute standout dram at the tasting that was the runaway winner of the night. 61% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky (14 votes).
