Tomatin 17 years 2006 - 2024 Sherry Collection 3 of 3

This is the third version from the Sherry Collection trilogy. This 17-year-old Tomatin has undergone maturation on Pedro Ximénez Butts.

Tasting note

Nose

On first encounter, a lush aroma of dark fruits such as dried plums and sultanas emerges, enriched with notes of dark chocolate and espresso. Subtle hints of leather and tobacco add an extra layer of depth, while a touch of orange peel and caramelised sugar round off the nose.

Taste

On the tongue, a rich and velvety flavour profile unfolds. Deep notes of stewed figs and dates mingle with the sweetness of toffee and honey. The influence of Pedro Ximenez sherry casks creates an intense, almost syrupy texture, with flavours of mocha and dark caramel beautifully balanced with a light, spicy undertone of cinnamon and clove.

Finish

The finish is long and luxurious, with lingering notes of dried fruit and a warm sweetness of melted chocolate. The spices remain subtly present, while a final touch of sherry and oak complete the experience and provide a satisfying aftertaste.
