Tomatin Cadenhead's Authentic Collection 2008 10y
Review #5 Cadenhead's Tomatin 10
Reviewed by ChBass
Catching up on a few bottles - I got this one at Cadenhead's London in Feb 2019.
Very light; dry straw colored.
Nose
The nose is hot; but that's likely due to it being bottled cask strength.
Palate
The flavor is very nice; amazingly smooth. On a blind tasting, I would have thought it was a 15 year.
Finish
The finish is probably where it shows its youth the most; it's a bit hot, but there are nice grain notes that ring through. It chills out a bit with some water.
Cadenhead's says that they sell cask-strength so that the drinkers can decide how much water to add; I would suggest this with water. All that said, it's still way smoother than expected for a 10-year, and I'll be sad to see it go!
