Description

This official Tomatin single malt matured to 15 year old and bottled at 46%. Tomatin is a Highland single malt distilled in the hills south of Inverness, where the distillery was founded in 1897. It was bought in 1986 by Takara Shuzo of Japan, the first Scotch distillery in Japanese hands.

Distilled slowly for the soft, fruity Tomatin make, building the approachable Tomatin style. It was matured in ex-Bourbon oak, lending vanilla and a soft honey. Around the mid teens the malt gains a fuller honey and ripe fruit. Long, gentle ageing turns the fresh fruit towards honey and soft spice. The Antiquary blend came into the group through the blender J and W Hardie. Malt is bought in, the distillery's own floor maltings having closed in the 1980s. For most of its life the distillery rarely ran to its full capacity. The make is light and fruity, easy to like and easy to drink. Special releases like Decades and Warehouse 6 have marked the distillery's milestones.

At an easy 46% it is light. Apple, vanilla and a light spice, and the refill bourbon lends a quiet vanilla. A baked apple and a gentle spice lift it. It finishes soft, fruity and clean. This is the softer side of the Highlands.
