This Tomatin 1965 was bottled in the Old Malt Cask series by Douglas Laing. At that time they already had the typical six-angle box but with another styling than current releases.
Tomatin 36 yo 1965
(49,7%, Douglas Laing 2001, 216 btl.)
Tomatin 36 yo 1965Nose: less fruity than I was hoping for. Still some peach and banana but subdued in comparison to other 1960’s Tomatin. Some oatmeal notes and flour. A little dust and leather.
Mouth: more typical, with lots of citrus notes (grapefruit, oranges). Hints of vanilla. Then quite some spices from the oak, like nutmeg and a pinch of salt. A little mint as well.
Finish: medium length, half fruity, half oaky.
Old Tomatin is never a bad choice, yet this one is a tad disappointing if you’re looking for the typical fruitiness. Around € 200 in auctions now.
Score: 87/100
