Gone is the hellhound marketing brouhaha — Cù Bòcan now focuses on what's most important; the liquid.

The Tomatin Water is a pleasant surprise. I quite like this profile, although I can see this being a divisive whisky also.

At Tomatin they're not afraid to experiment with maturation in exotic cask types. For example, last year they released this Tomatin 14 Years Old Cabernet Sauvignon.

A Tomatin 2006 10 Years Old from a 1st fill sherry butt. Bottled for the Dutch market, this one lacks balance.

Long overdue, but I finally got around to tasting the Usquebaugh Society's club bottling from 2016, a Tomatin 2004 11 Years Old.

With a length three year finish in oloroso sherry hogsheads, this Tomatin 1995 21 Years Old shows quite the sherry influence. A powerful and delicious whisky.

A limited release from Tomatin, this whisky has spent 9 years in ex-rum casks. Decent whisky and priced fairly, but don't expect to be blown away.

A Tomatin 25 Years Old bottled ten years ago (so distilled over 35 years ago). Should be good!

Tomatin Contrast is an exciting experiment to try and show the difference between bourbon and sherry maturation. For each they have used casks from the same vintages: 1973, 1977, 1988, 1991, 2002 and 2006. All of them in equal measure. So they used just as much old whisky as they did young whisky.

A bit of an eccentric Tomatin 1987 from Càrn Mòr's Celebration of the Cask-series. If you approach this whisky open-minded, there's a good chance you'll be pleasantly surprised by all the interesting things it has to offer.
