What happened?

I went to this event and really enjoyed the open dinner, being able to see chef Neal do his magic, and the whiskey talk with Tobin.

Been a spell since I had one and surprised how mellow it was, but great for golf course.

I promised a review, so it is. Tomatin 18Y Oloroso Sherry Casks:
  • smell
- right after opening, very pleasant, consistent, fruity. Cherries in liqueur, apricots, apples, a hint of vanilla, grass with lemon
  • taste
- not too spicy, fruit mix with a predominance of cherry, vanilla and buckwheat honey. Brilliant taste!
  • finish
- rather short (edit: not so short, it holds all the time ...), warms the throat nicely. A phenomenal fragrance, you can inhale it and enjoy the garden of pleasure
To sum up, a very pleasant and delicate single malt with a wonderful smell. No alcohol smell at all, just a pleasant fruit garden with a predominance of cherries in a liqueur with vanilla. This smell blew me away, and the aftertaste a few minutes after consumption is a real poetry :)

I recommend it to all those who want to convince their more beautiful halves to the water of life.

How does it compare to the others? I haven’t opened mine yet as it’s completely sold out in the UK at retail and now going for £250.

Recently got into the Lagavulin 16yr bug. Just finish a bottle. Previously anything Suntory Hibiki/Yamasaki. The Japanese stuff getting expensive.

A good friend of mine brought one over the other day and we drank it over dinner and talking watches.

Flavorful with earthy notes- smooth chocolate, subtle spice, aromas of oak, and maybe something slightly sweeter. That's just the taste profile though. The dram itself felt a teed bit harsh- especially for something of that caliber and proof.

Overall, really enjoyed it. Went back for seconds. And thirds.

We saw that at Costco this weekend. My wife’s not into sweets but she looked hard at this and was trying to find some info online, but didn’t find much and she didn’t want to spend $80 without more info. What’d you think and how would you describe it?

$80 is a steal first of all... It’s $110-125 everywhere else!

It’s a dessert scotch, not in the sense of overly sweet, but there’s hints of it... Very good, I’m looking for a backup bottle!
