Other notable winners are Highland Park’s 15 YO Viking Heart Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Aberfeldy’s 16 YO and 21 YO expressions. The Glenmorangie Company won a Gold Outstanding medal for its Finest Reserve 19 YO Single Malt Scotch Whisky. On the nose: Baked apples, caramel, fruity toffee, bread and butter pudding, vanilla sponge, a bit more juicy fruit developing, biscuity shortcake, fudge donuts, marginally more spirity and certainly spicier than the old 12 year old. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. It's owned by the Takara Shuzo company. Around eighty percent of Tomatin's whisky goes into blended whisky, including its own brands of Antiquary and Talisman.
Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). Tomatin, 1976 Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Tomatin, Legacy Single Malt Scotch Whisky were two of the top three ranked Scotch whiskies. Palate: Baby puke, astringent initial grip on taste buds followed by a "miller lite" finish with generous (or not so generous depending upon how you look a it) hints of the nose. If you buy a bottle of the Legacy, do yourself a favor and drink it on ice. I'm sure it's quite pleasant with ice and soda. Tomatin has been officially producing Whisky since 1897 however off the books it may have been operating since the 1700s!

Kilchoman was the only other Islay distillery to take a Gold Outstanding medal. It won for its Machir Bay Scotch Whisky. The whisky is matured in both ex-Bourbon and Sherry casks. Great Drams, a specialty bottler, took a Gold Outstanding medal for its Islay Distillery Single Cask Single Malt Whisky. Tomatin translates from “Hill of the Juniper Bush” making this location ideal for illicit distilling with access to plenty of juniper wood which gives off no smoke while burning.
The Tomatin 1976 is a single cask, 36 YO+, whisky. Distilled on 13 September 1973 and bottled on August 10, 2010. It was matured in a first fill America oak cask. The official tasting note on the Tomatin 1976, described it as: Among Islay distillers, Laphroiag was the big winner, taking two Gold Outstanding medals for its 10 YO Sherry Oak Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky and its Select Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Islay whiskies marry particularly well with sweet wine casks, producing expressions that are smoky and with distinct fruity and sweet notes. Another unusual winner was a single malt Scotch whisky expression from The Lindores Company, one of Scotland’s newest whisky distilleries. The distillery is named for one of Scotland’s original 17th century distilleries at the Lindores Abbey. The Lindores Distilling Company, Single Malt Scotch Whisky was described by the judging panel as: This year’s judging produced an outstanding selection of Scotch whiskies. Some well-known, perennial medalists, others less so. Plenty to explore and discover here.

Strong spices and wood aromas. Evolves to powerful red fruits with high alcohol. Water addition creates softer, sweeter notes of tropical fruit and vanilla spice. Sweet lengthy finish. In the mouth: Malty, oaky, very bourbon forward, actually my maximum amount of bourbon cask, then sherry sweetness arrives, bringing butter popcorn, fudgy traybake, charred sugar, toasted marshmallows, darker fruits like raisings and then baking spices and feeling a little raw. Conclusions: The IWSC judges, for their part, had this to say: “Seductively round, with delicious aromas of rich linseed and sweet honey, and ripe tropical fruit notes on the palate. Guava, papaya and mango all make an appearance, interspersed with star anise and fine oak tones which linger on the finish.”
