Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 57.3%
Tomatin has long been one of the unsung heroes of the highlands, but thankfully in the last few years that's changed a bit with a series of impressive official bottlings and some absolutely terrific casks from indie bottlers raising Tomatin's profile and stature among whisky fans.
As well as some well-regarded official bottlings from this particular vintage there've been quite a few indie 1988 Tomatins around in the last few years and many of them have been very very good, so it's great to see another one from G&M.
This Tomatin 1988 has been bottled by Gordon & Macphail for their Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength series in 2021 as a 31-year-old from a refill hogshead that yielded 173 bottles at a tantalising 57.3%. The stars are aligned for this one, it should be absolutely fantastic - Tomatin 1988 may not have the reputation of the exquisite 1976 vintage yet but who knows what the next few years will bring from this vintage.
