Tomatin Gordon & Macphail Discovery 2007 Single Malt. Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 43%. Tasted at Whisky a Day HQ, $136 (bottle).
Colour: Golden straw.
Nose: Faint feints. Extremely soft floral (jasmin?) notes & wafts of freshly baked blueberry muffins.
Palate: It hits you with all the ferocity of a limp handshake. Thin mouthfeel, with watery honey and overripe blueberries that collapse rather than pop on the tongue.
Finish: Short finish with oak, dusty cocoa and vanilla notes.
Comments: It’s certainly not a bad whisky just any stretch, just a little underwhelming. Can’t help buy think that a higher ABV might have done wonders.
