In 2014, the Tomatin 12 Year Old was given an update and bottled at 43% ABV rather 40%, as it was previously. This core single malt from the ace distillery in the Highlands is finished for six-to-nine months in Oloroso Sherry casks before being bottled.
he Macallan Amber is part of the colour-themed 1824 non age statement series of whiskies. Originating from Speyside, the Amber edition has been created exclusively in sherry casks, and is a full flavoured and rich single malt. Unsurprisingly deep amber in colour, it should be noted that the oak influence on this whisky is incredible. Plenty of vanilla notes, citrus and soft chocolate on the nose, and a hint of ginger spice. This leads to a pleasantly surprising fruity taste, with more dried fruits and cereal biscuits on the palate. Definitely a step up in flavour and fullness from the Gold expression in the series. The finish is oaky, with a touch of dried fruit and Christmas-themed spices.
Today, Dean’s Finest Old Scotch Whisky is made from malt and grain whisky to a traditional recipe at the Loch Lomond Distillery.Nowhere is the historical heritage and character of Scotland more impressively reflected than in its capital city Edinburgh. Bordered by the estuary of the Firth of Forth to the north and the untouched nature of the Pentland Hills to the south, Edinburgh extends as far as the beautiful coast. Here, in the shadow of the historic Edinburgh Castle, lay Dean Village, the small village that gave its name to the Dean distillery.Today the place has long been part of Edinburgh city centre. In 1881, James Johnstone set up the distillery on the steep slopes of the River Leith in the shadow of the Dean bridge. And in no time, experienced distillers were were lovingly and expertly producing a top-class whisky that was soon held in high regard.
