Why I chose this
The Barolo Edition is the most stately of the Italian trio, with a firmness you would sooner expect from red wine than from a glass of whisky. I recommend it to wine lovers with a soft spot for Piedmont. Pour it unhurriedly, as it gains character after a little while in the glass.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'distilled in 2010, bottled in 2023' mean for this Barolo Edition?
That the whisky was distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2023, so it spent roughly twelve to thirteen years in cask, including the finish in Barolo casks. There is no official age statement on the bottle, which is why we give the years rather than an age.
What does a Barolo cask give to whisky?
Mainly dark red fruit and a dry, firm tannin. Barolo is a powerful red wine from Piedmont, made from the Nebbiolo grape and known for its tannins. After maturing in traditional oak whisky casks, this Tomatin is finished in Barolo casks, giving it a stately, dry-fruity character.
Which cheese or chocolate goes with the Barolo Edition?
A young pecorino or truffle chocolate pairs nicely with the tannin and dark fruit. If you prefer something sweet, choose a red fruit tart. Serve the whisky neat and let it breathe for a few minutes; at 46% ABV you can then add a few drops of water if you like.
