Tomatin 16 Years 2006/2023 - 100th Anniversary Chamber Cherry

For over 100 years, Kammer-Kirsch has been distilling high-quality spirits. From what was once a teaching and experimental distillery, Kammer-Kirsch was founded as a limited company in 1923. Since 1990, the company has also been importing high-quality spirits, including internationally renowned brands. To mark its 100th anniversary, a very special new single cask was bottled.

Single Cask No. 33298 was also bottled exclusively for Kammer-Kirsch to celebrate our 100th anniversary. This Tomatin single malt was distilled on October 6, 2006, and bottled at cask strength with 55.7% ABV on September 4, 2023. It matured for 16 years in a French oak hogshead (Quercus petraea) from the Allier region of central France. This oak typically produces more aromatic whiskies with less tannin than the Quercus robur oak variety, which is more common in Europe.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, sweet notes of syrup, toffee, and apple pie emerge before more cereal notes emerge, creating an aroma of freshly baked flapjacks. A blend of dried apricot and banana chips, along with hints of dark chocolate, transitions into a hint of baking spice.

On the palate, the syrupy flavor continues with more sweet cereal notes. There are slightly more fruity flavors, such as plum and strawberry jam, which blend beautifully with notes of ginger, cinnamon, and clove, lending the whole a sense of warmth.

The finish is long, sweet and warming with an ever-present undertone of oats.
