Another no age statement, at least its price tag is in line with its age. The virgin oak should add a good bit of sweetnss and spice and i imagine there will be some youthfulness in it so it could be an interesting whisky.

I am surprised Tomatin are doing a no age statement, i thought they had a large output capacity and should have a large maturing stock, or have i got that wrong. Still another single malt in this price range is always interesting to try.

Bookie, Tomatin do have a large output capacity of 5000000 litres per year but last i heard they dont run to full capacity, dont know why? Last year they had an output of 1800000 which is quite a bit below capacity.

I tried this over the weekend. I can say that for the price it's well worth the money. It wont blow you away but for £25 you don't expect that.

I have no problem with no-age statements if they're not exorbitantly priced and this one looks like it fits the bill.
