Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon & virgin oak casks. Whisky - Icons of Whisky Scotland Distiller of the year - 2016. Whisky - Icons of Whisky Scotland Brand Innovator of the year - 2017. In this idyllic spot the naturally soft water of the Alt-na-Frith burn is introduced to tender Scottish barley. Later, from the tall, slim copper stills of the Tomatin Distillery a mellow, fruity spirit is born. Gentle maturation in the cool, stable environment found high above sea level lets the subtle character of this distinctive Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky emerge. The use of carefully selected casks ensures that the softer characters of the precious spirit are never overpowered. You have heard the myths of this often wild and beautiful place. Now hear the truth: there is a softer side to the Highlands. There is Tomatin. Time in Bourbon barrels and Virgin Oak casks brings a light sweetness to The Tomatin Legacy, which boasts aromas of vanilla, marshmallow, pineapple and lemon. On the palate gentle flavours of candy, pine, lemon sherbet, apples and sponge cake emerge ahead of a light, clean finish. Since 1897 there has been a quiet revolution unfolding in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. High up amongst the smooth, rounded peaks of the Monadhliath Mountains there is no room for the rugged and robust. Here patience, a gentle hand and a passion for purity rule the day. Back in 1897, the isolated and idyllic setting of Tomatin was almost perfect. But there was no workforce; the local inhabitants were scattered shepherds and cattle drovers. So we began a project of construction to accommodate our workforce. Ever since, the distillery has been at the heart of the community and the community at the heart of our distillery. This legacy continues today as we remain one of the few distilleries to provide a home for our dedicated craftsmen.
