The Tomatin 12 Year Old is a distinguished Highland single malt whisky that boasts a rich heritage and exceptional craftsmanship. Matured in a harmonious blend of traditional Scotch whisky casks, ex-Bourbon casks, and ex-Spanish Sherry casks, this whisky stands out with its intricate aging process. Specifically, 34% of the whisky is aged in ex-Bourbon casks, 32% in second-fill casks, and 34% in ex-Spanish Sherry casks, resulting in a complex and layered profile. The Tomatin 12 Year Old offers a smooth and silky texture, complemented by a rich, fruity aroma with notes of ripe apples, pears, and a subtle hint of nuts. The palate is a delightful mix of sweet flavors, featuring ripe apples, pears, and an underlying nuttiness that leads to a long, pleasantly oily finish.
Established in 1897 by the Tomatin Spey Distillery Company, the Tomatin distillery has experienced various periods of fluctuation in production. During the 1960s and 1970s, the distillery expanded from 2 stills to 23 stills. In 1985, it became the first Scottish distillery to be under Japanese management when it was purchased by Takara Shuzo Co. and Okara & Co. Today, the distillery operates with 10 stills and produces approximately 2 million liters annually, although it has a capacity of around 5 million liters per annum.
The Tomatin 12 Year Old is the flagship expression of the Tomatin Highland Scotch whisky range. It begins its maturation in traditional oak casks and undergoes a final aging period of up to 9 months in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. Bottled at 43% ABV, this whisky experienced a change from its previous 40% bottling, which was released before 2014. The result is a beautifully balanced whisky with notes of apples, citrus, and sweet spice, making it a favorite among whisky enthusiasts.
