2006 Tomatin - Portuguese Collection: Moscatel (46%)

The Moscatel Edition of Tomatin’s Portuguese Collection was distilled in 2006, aged over eight years in cask and then transferred to a barrel that previously held Moscatel de Setúbal – where it lay for an additional seven years. The finished whisky has a distinctly brighter, lighter aromatic tone when compared to the Port and Madeira Editions. On the nose, there are aromas of fresh leather, heather and spicy nutmeg, while the palate has a lovely viscosity yet feels bright and fresh, not at all heavy. It has great depth, a very smooth texture and a long, spicy finish.
