Tomatin Decades — многогранный и хорошо сбалансированный виски, в котором сочетаются зрелость старых бочек и живость молодых, с фруктово-медовой и пряной палитрой. Мнения о нём в целом благоприятные, хотя часть отзывов отмечает недостаток характера или гармонии.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах Tomatin Decades описывается как хорошо скомпонованный и сложный виски, где старые и молодые компоненты образуют удачный баланс: зрелость и комплексность от выдержанных бочек сочетаются с живостью более молодых, не подавляя общую зрелость. Нос часто характеризуют как фруктовый и меняющийся со временем — спелые и слегка кислые яблоки, виноград, киви, тропические фрукты (манго, персик, дыня, гуава), а также ваниль, медовые и травянистые ноты, выпечка и деликатная древесность; алкоголь в аромате, как правило, не ощущается. Во вкусе отмечают кремовую и маслянистую текстуру, мёд, восковую сладость, специи, дуб, сухофрукты и цитрусовую горчинку, а также появление танинов. Финиш чаще описывают как длинный, тёплый и округлый, с мёдом, дубом, ванилью, сухофруктами, иногда шоколадом, кофе и лакрицей.
Вместе с тем часть отзывов указывает на ограничения: отдельные комментарии говорят о недостатке гармонии между разными десятилетиями, о «безвредном» характере с коротким финишем, о горьковатом и молодом оттенке, а также о том, что не хватает «изюминки» и крепости для большей выразительности. Несколько отзывов подчёркивают, что виски требует времени и раскрывается постепенно, вознаграждая за терпение; также отмечается удачное соотношение цены и качества и хорошая питкость при 46%.

This Tomatin Decades is well composed. It's nice to see the typical 1960-1970's fruitiness mixed with vibrant flavours and a creaminess from the younger casks. Fair pricing as well.
Vegetable nose and pastry, quite green. Sweet attack then confirmation of aromas of the nose with the addition of a slight woody, pleasant texture and well integrated alcohol. Short final, lack of charm and character, harmless.
Ralfy review 343: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb5YAxvRuVo (91/100). "This is good whisky by any standards, whether you're smelling it or tasting it. The intrinsic quality of the make of this single malt is very good indeed..."
A really good tomato! [Color] straw;
A great composition from Tomatin that shows how complex a whisky can be at drinking strength. Every sip is fun and you can probably spend forever enjoying this whisky.

| Нос | 92 | The nose is flawless and changes significantly for the better over time. More and more fruits can be recognized. There is no alcohol noticeable in the nose. First there are light fruits, especially ripe apples but also slightly sour apples, grapes and some kiwi. Noticeable vanilla note, baking spices, slightly doughy. A pleasant woody note at the end. |
| Вкус | 91 | The alcohol is also perfectly balanced in the mouth. It starts very quietly and then begins to get a little sweeter. The fruits are less present than in the nose and are hidden behind a waxy sweet layer, one could suspect a little honey wax. The fruits you perceive are the same as in the nose - slightly tropical notes that are subtle. A clear OBF is visible at the back. Very complex and it requires several pauses to recognize all the nuances. |
| Финиш | 93 | Long, smooth and captivating. What remains is a waxiness, a slight tingling and a light fruit acidity. Very pleasant and not intrusive. |
Good, but the different decades are not really harmonising.
Wow, a surprisingly complex and voluminoese malt.
[December, 2011] Together with friends I emptied a bottle that I bought for 72 Euro in October, 2011. In my old rating system (ten scales that translate into WB points: 50 - 66 - 75 - 80 - 82,5 - 85 - 87,5 - 90 - 92,5 - 95) I scored it 87,5. My notes state an easy to drink and quite interesting to explore dram. It takes its time to fully understand this malt but it is worthwhile to go for it...
Blindtasting. Balanced and very diverse.

| Нос | 90 | At the beginning fine, almost discreet. Then you will find tropical fruits, mango, peach. Herbs (which I can not name exactly) are in honey. Fresh and menthol again and again. Deep in the background, oak chips, as I often find them in old (over 20y) bourbon barrel aged malts. |
| Вкус | 89 | First sweet, then peppery on the tongue. Honey again and the tropical fruits. After some time in the mouth, the tannins on the tongue and on the palate come out. |
| Финиш | 89 | Good medium length. Warming slightly, again with honey, later with dark chocolate and espresso and tannins. |
For me, this marriage of several vintages only really scores points in the finish. But that alone is worth a tasting, even if not at absurd secondary market prices

| Нос | 85 | Bright fruit notes that are sweet and sour. Pear, apricot, pomelo, mandarin zest, grapefruit. Plus butter and oat biscuits, delicate freshly worked wood. Nice, but not spectacular. |
| Вкус | 86 | Creamy mouthfeel. After a little warm-up, light garden fruits, tropical fruits, dried fruits and spices emerge. Gooseberry, pear, guava, raisins, dried apricots, pink pepper. Plus a few grapefruit-like bitter substances. |
| Финиш | 89 | The strongest part in my opinion. Buttery, creamy and fruity with a strong balance and excellent drinkability. A lot of things fit together here. Only the 46% prevents an even greater presence and thus also breaking the 90 point barrier |

This is a beautifully constructed dram. Starts with a fruity sweetness, develops some chocolate and savory notes in the mid-palate, then finishes with baking spices and just the tiniest hint of bitterness as it fades away making me want to take another sip. Initially I thought it might have benefited from a little more alcohol, but after a couple of drams I'm convinced it was bottled at just the right strength. Really outstanding.

| Нос | 92 | very fruity, tasty nose, sun-ripened cantaloupe melon, yellow kiwi, gooseberries, lime with cane sugar, fresh mint, lemon balm, birch sap, coconut cream, Turkish delight, carambola, green cucumber freshly cut, flowering mountain herb meadow (sage, thyme, rosemary) |
| Вкус | 91 | very creamy noble oak (rather young and light wood) coconut cream with mild sweetness, citrus mint, crystalline flowers - now comes here also this very delicious fruity melon, green banana, pineapple yogurt, ever chewable, pulsating fruity always on the move, extremely yummy |
| Финиш | 91 | very round and cultivated - caramelised oak, biscuits with vanilla, juice from green bark, delicate waxy note, some sweet wood, salt liquorice - very long if tender at the end. |
Water: no, it is perfectly balanced at 46% Conclusion: Multivintage at it's very best. The thing is simply a cracker, here everything that makes up tomatin is combined, plus an extremely successful balance between old, venerable barrels that bring maturity and complexity and young malts that keep the whisky alive without taking away from its mature complexity . This is how whisky has to be! Give it time and you will be rewarded with a perfectly balanced malt.

| Нос | 91 | slightly buttery, exotic fruits, passion fruit, apricot, slightly nutty, creamy, oak notes, but not too strong, lively, vanilla, melon, coconut cream, lemon balm, honey, marjoram, lovage, pear, some orange zest, grapefruit ... hear the impressions not at all. |
| Вкус | 91 | easy start, but quickly becomes oily and full, lots of flavors dance on the tongue, dried fruit, apricot, oranges, spicy oak, vanilla, butter, biscuit dough, grated coconut |
| Финиш | 90 | long, very long, brilliant combination of dried apricots, oak notes, vanilla, seasoning, cereals, a little sherry |

Special limited edition bottling to celebrate Douglas Campbell, the current Master Distiller, 50th year of service with the company. Casks distilled 1967 / 1976 / 1984 / 1990 / 2005
Tasting notes by Duncan RColour: Gold Aroma: Soft fruits, delicate vanilla, hint of smoke Palate: Soft peat, forest fruits, vanilla soft sweetness Finish: Balanced, light, earthy, lingeringThe influence of a small amount of peat, which they have been using in a small number of batches of spirit since 2005, added yet another dimension to what is a very versatile whisky.

| Нос | 90 | Extremely well balanced but also somewhat understated on the nose (or perhaps my sample has already lost a bit of power). If you take your time with it, you're rewarded by a veritable fruit salad that is framed in equal measure by mellow, spicy/herbal oak tones and creamy vanilla custard aroma. After a while, I'm left to wonder if there's a whiff of peat in here as well. Extremely complex, even though you'd like a few extra percentage points to give everything more definition. |
| Вкус | 91 | The older components are undeniable on the palate, bringing along a cavalcade of exotic fruits and the signature oaky/smoky backdrop only seen in 30-and-older malts. Really, really good. |
| Финиш | 90 | Charcoal, multi-fruit-juice, and creamy, mellow old oak. |

Official Tasting Notes Nose: A lovely sweet maltiness gives way to juicy, fruity aromas of fresh peach, apple and pear with gentle hints of dried apricots and raisins. Delicate flowery notes sit on top of rich pine and robust oak wood. The hint of a distant smouldering fire wafts about in the background. Palate: The taste buds are tantalised by intense flavours of tropical fruit, rich Christmas cake, aniseed, cinnamon and creamy fudge. The rich malty sweetness returns with a nutty edge. Finish: Mellow and memorable, like the man himself.

Tasty, but nowhere near the tropical fruitiness of Decades II. 81-85 – Wow, really good one

Hammer malt, extremely ripe, fruity, balanced and very great tropical notes.
The colour is gold, the nose has sweet malt aromas of peaches, apples, pears, apricots, raisins and smoke. The palate is nice and fruity with notes of cake and cinnamon; the finish is smooth, rather long, with fruits and smoke. Nice dram!

Bitter and a bit young. In my opinion, there is especially Tomatin 2000 'in the mix
Color - rich amber, brown tint; Nose - mild, sweet, full; Taste - very full-bodied and sweet, balanced, a bit prickly on the tongue (but that goes away quickly); Finish - warm, long and beautiful

Brute good nose. Super balanced on the palate. Unfortunately, that certain something is missing and of course a few percent.

| Нос | 90 | Great nose. Wide fruit load. Apple pear. Thorn or currant. Then drifting a little into the tropical. Looks very broad, with honey in the background. |
| Вкус | 88 | very creamy. old school flavor. very round, everything very finely woven. Here fruit, sweetness, tartness and sharpness are the perfect balance. I'm missing some punch though. |
| Финиш | 87 | Grapefruit, citrus. creamy, slightly tart. |

Excellent dram with a very attractive price given the quality of the product.
Harmonious and balanced, but especially not only in the nose and very complex. Seems incredibly familiar to me. Notes from a blind tasting. Okay, I know him and this successful combination of old and younger notes has also shown here. A successful experiment was that time. Actually, it takes much more time than I have just given him. One that I would really like to try in barrel size. Thinning has certainly lost a lot.

| Нос | 92 | Incredibly strong right at the beginning with overripe fruit and chalk. Some life time adds a lot of salt, a touch of chocolate and sweat, with a bit of menthol. Pears and cardboard box. Heated, honey is added and the box of kitchen herbs is opened, lovage, marjoram, tarragon, the sweetness disappears completely. |
| Вкус | 90 | Mild approach with honey and chocolate, a little time-delayed comes black pepper while tapping the tannins on the back of the palate. In the second sip clearly tanned, but still in full balance. Dark chocolate, back coffee now with a clear acidity. |
| Финиш | 91 | He goes very slowly with some licorice but mainly chocolate and a few herbs. Warms up for a long time. In the second sip, the acidity on the palate is quite long. |
I am very happy to have had it in my glass again in an online blind tasting.
