Tomatin distillery is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery in the village of Tomatin. Its whisky is classified as being from the Highland region, as it is 25 minutes south of Inverness.
An addition to its core range in 2024, Tomatin 12 Year Old Sherry Cask builds upon the classic 12 Year Old but is instead fully matured in sherry casks for 12 years. The bottle design boasts lots of scarlet and gold to pay homage to the flavours imparted by the sherry wood during the cask maturation process.
This distillery bottling from Tomatin is part of the ‘Portuguese Collection’. It’s been aged for fifteen years, including a seven-year finishing period in Port casks. Like the rest of the collection, it was distilled in September 2006.
