TomatinCabernet Sauvignon Barrique

This is a 13-year-old Highland single malt whisky from Tomatin, bottled from a single cask at a robust 58.0% ABV. As a single-cask release, it offers an individual snapshot of the distillery's spirit rather than a vatting designed for absolute consistency.

The whisky was matured in a Cabernet Sauvignon barrique, a type of red wine cask that can bring added fruitiness, colour, and gentle tannic oak to the spirit. For a novice drinker, expect a fuller and more wine-influenced style than a standard ex-bourbon-matured single malt, with the high strength likely benefiting from a little water in the glass.
