Wonderfully light brown with an orange red shimmer, the Tomatin shines pure and clear in the glass. From the streaks formed after pouring on the glass wall, scattered syrupy drops emerge.

The pile of leaves still steams in the evening sun and releases the most diverse aromas: wet leaves, dry and spicy wood, dried berries and grapes, creamy butter and almost mineral notes. Slowly, the different aroma blend ends and leaves an earthy and foliagey creamy fruit mix on the palate ...
