The natural strong fruitiness was impressive. TOMATIN TOMATIN 1990-2016 25yo OB DISTILLERY EXCLUSIVE BOTTLE #16366 54.4% The aroma features strong pineapple, peach and plum with a juicy sensation, dry grainy cereal notes, oil, and a faint vegetal hint. When tasted, it gradually reveals spicy tropical fruits like pineapple with juicy sweetness, fruity sweetness, a moderate malty note, slightly oily, and a clean finish. [Good/Very Good] This is a distillery exclusive TOMATIN 1990, aged for 25 years, purchased during the recent Scotland tour. It's surprising but now it has aged for 25 years, entering the long-aged category. The aroma offers a diverse and strong tropical fruitiness typical of TOMATIN, including peaches, with an oily texture and a lingering malty note. On the palate, it exhibits a spicy character reminiscent of high proof whisky, with a rich tropical fruitiness similar to the aroma. What stood out most was the absence of any chemical-like nuances often associated with fruity TOMATIN, reminiscent of children's medicine. While clearly displaying the fruity house style, this 90s TOMATIN was enjoyable without any off-putting notes. #TOMATIN (TOMATIN)
