This March, Club Members get the chance to try this delectable limited edition, a savoury single malt with huge Manzanilla influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTomatin headed straight for the cream of the crop, sourcing the oldest possible Manzanilla casks. These solera casks vary from 30-60 years old, and held Manzanilla Solear by Barbadillo, widely considered the best producer of Manzanilla in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“It’s just different from anything else”\u003c\/em\u003e explains Tomatin’s Blender Scott Adamson. \u003cem\u003e“You say ‘Sherry’ to a whisky drinker and they immediately think of sweet, rich, dried fruits. Manzanilla is the complete opposite. It’s dry, salty and zesty. One of my favourite ‘booze experiences’ was sitting outside a Taberna in San Lucar de Barrameda sharing a bottle of Manzanilla with friends eating tortillas de camarones. The whole Manzanilla lifestyle is just incredible.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a super lengthy two-year finish in this singular fortified wine, the distillery’s tropically fruity spirit has transformed to \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebright lemon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003egrapefruit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, with savoury notes of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esourdough\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehot buttered popcorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e with \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emaple syrup-coated walnuts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.

And as you can imagine, bottles are strictly limited so you’ll need to be quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot yet a Member of The Whisky Club?
