Tomatin Scotch Single Malt 12 Year 2012

Nose: Predominant note of candy apple, with undertones of nougat, cinnamon, fruit punch, and breakfast cereal. Standard, in a partially-sherried kind of way.

Palate: Nice density to the body, almost silky. Nut skins, shredded wheat, and dried cherries on a bed of hum-drum malt.

Finish: Short. Some dried fruit, nougat again, and a hint of bitterness, like over-caramelized sugar.
