pods, blackberries, spiced toffee apples, youthful oak, toasted malt, a milk
chocolate Bounty bar, pineapple cubes, Waitrose dried mango chips, brazil nuts,
ortanique zest, wood spice, white pepper, freshly chopped dill and parsley, a hum of something vinous and a punctuating

Summary: Having
not been 100% bowled over by their recent Legacy release, I have to say this
latest offering ticks all the right boxes, and restores my faith in everything
that is tenacious and usually tremendous from Tomatin.
