Tomatin Dualchas is the softer side of the Highlands — a non-age-statement single malt matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and virgin American oak. The virgin oak brings a light natural sweetness and the softness the distillery is known for. It carries a Gold Outstanding score of 99/100 at the 2022 IWSC.

Mood: soft, sweet, oak-warm.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of vanilla bean, white chocolate, and cinnamon lift from the glass with fresh orchard fruit and toasted oak behind them. The palate is smooth and softly sweet — vanilla, honeydew, pineapple, and light ginger — before a clean finish that closes with warm oak spice.

Serving & Pairing

Best neat or with a single drop of water; also holds up on a large rock. Pairs with light cheese, honey cake, apple crumble, or the tail end of a Yom Tov meal when the room finally quiets down.
