The Tomatin distillery is located on the eastern edge of the Monadhliath mountains, 315 meters above sea level. The distillery has been officially in existence since 1897, but as early as the 15th century, illegal stills could be found in Tomatin, producing spirits bought by herdsmen bringing their cattle from the highest passes of the Highlands to market in Tomatin. The existence of this distillery attracted consumers and transformed the quiet, isolated village of Tomatin into a dynamic place. The distillery produces around 5,000,000 liters of whisky a year from 12 stills, making it one of Scotland's leading distilleries.
Nose: Big, punchy notes of fresh vanilla pods and butterscotch mingle with lemon candy, peaches, and floral honey. Hints of toasted coconut and peppermint leaves add complexity.
Palate: Layers of vanilla cream, custard, and honeyed sweetness accompany classic Speyside notes of pears, nectarines, and fresh stone fruits. A gentle hint of light oak spice provides structure.
Finish: Medium length, clean and sweet, with lingering notes of zesty citrus, vanilla fudge, and a touch of caramel. Often described as a perfect ‘summer whisky’.
