These first impressions are enriched by a subtle touch of hazelnut, adding an extra layer of complexity.
PALATE: On the palate, this Tomatin Edition Manzanilla stands out with a refined and harmonious flavor palette. Dried fruits, typical of the best sherries, blend with delicate nuances of chamomile tea, bringing a floral sweetness. A slight bitterness from grapefruit perfectly balances the richness of maple syrup, while the salty nut, a hallmark of Manzanilla, adds remarkable depth and texture.
FINISH: The finish is long, slightly salty, true to the unique character of Manzanilla. It lingers on with an enveloping sweetness of brown butter, offering a comforting sensation and a lasting memory of the complex and balanced flavors that define this exceptional single malt.
