The ‘Five Virtues’ is a concept synonymous with the age-old processes and materials employed by distillery men. Water feeds wood; wood sustains fire; fire gives life to earth; earth yields metal; metal gathers water; and the cycle continues…
To celebrate the Five Virtues, leading artist, Eva Ullrich, has explored these interactions and their role in whisky production. The result is five striking artworks…and five unique expressions.
Tomatin Five Virtues Earth:
• peated malt
• refill Hogshead oak
• 6000 bottles available
The third virtue, Earth, is exemplified in an edition rich in intense and - unusually for Tomatin - peaty flavours. A consequence of maturing whisky made with peat-dried malted barley in refill Hogshead casks. Tomatin only distills peated malt during the last two weeks of every year and it is never released under the Tomatin brand. This is truly a unique expression. An intriguing mix of vanilla, burning heather and black fruits with sweet, light smoke. Unlike any other Tomatin, it has a salty smokiness with a complex and ever-changing finish.
