Award-winning Highland distillery, Tomatin, has unveiled a new limited-edition 45-year-old single malt whisky, which will be available exclusively through airports and luxury global travel retail outlets.
Whisky production has taken place in Tomatin since the 15th century, with the first formal distillery established in 1897. Located in the Scottish Highlands near Inverness, Tomatin is known for its portfolio of soft and mellow whiskies, including a core range, a limited-edition range and a premium archive range.
This, the latest premium whisky to be added to its collection, features a new bespoke decanter — a custom-made Glencairn crystal decanter with a golden stopper. This is then encased in a striking high gloss wooden box, which the distillery’s scenic landscape has inspired. The colours in the wood make subtle reference to the distillery’s Highland landscape, while curved doors and etchings on the wooden box represent the rolling hills surrounding the distillery.
It is the first time that Tomatin has released a 45-year-old spirit in travel retail, and there are just 250 numbered bottles available
worldwide. The 41.5% ABV spirit is available in a 70cl bottle with an RRP of £7,500. Each pack comes with a bespoke metal certificate, signed by Master Distiller Graham Eunson, to guarantee the quality and authenticity of the bottles.
The whisky has been gently matured in a Spanish Oloroso sherry cask for more than 45 years before being bottled in early 2023 at natural strength, natural colour, and non-chill filtered.
The result, Tomatin tells us, is a tropical spirit on the nose followed by a wave of summer berries and cherry before a dryness emerges in the form of freshly roasted coffee beans.
On the palate, a mix of dried tropical fruits develops before a burst of tangy Sanguinello blood orange, salted caramel chocolate, and a hint of herbal bitters.
A satin-like texture cloaks the palate with dried tropical fruits and tangy citrus, followed by the subtle influence of the sherry cask, which comes through lightly at the finish.
Graham Eunson, the master distiller at Tomatin Distillery, said: “This is a remarkable moment for the distillery, as we reveal the latest premium aged-statement single malt whisky in our portfolio.
“Our 45 Year Old is a robust but complex single malt with a varied tasting profile that combines succulent fruit flavours with smooth, salty caramel and a light sherry influence. Its rarity makes it perfect for a truly special occasion and the ideal addition for global collectors.”
