Tomatin distillery lies in the Highlands near Inverness, one of Scotland's larger and historically significant distilleries, known for a soft, fruit-forward house style and a willingness to experiment with cask finishing.
The 18 Year Old is one of Tomatin's most decorated expressions, matured predominantly in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, with a smaller portion in refill casks. Honey and soft oak develop into a hint of dark chocolate with a citrus bite, before a sustained sweet and slightly dry finish.
Awards: Double Gold, San Francisco World Spirits Competition, three consecutive years (2022, 2023 and 2024) — upgraded to Platinum status in 2024, the highest award in Tomatin 18 Year Old's history at the competition.
