My first Tomatin from the 1960s and definitely an interesting one considering that I have mostly only experience 1x or 2x year old whiskies from this GM line while this is at 30yo

Gordon & Macphail’s Connoisseurs Choice Tomatin 1968 1998 40%

My first Tomatin from the 1960s and definitely an interesting one considering that I have mostly only experience 1x or 2x year old whiskies from this GM line while this is at 30yo

Nose

Typical old style sherry nose, dark dried fruits

Body

The palate is reflective of the nose but it is lighter than I expected, probably due to the 40% ABV; the palate is not as complex as I would expect from a 30 year old whisky

Finish

Medium, dry, slightly bitter finish
