The Tomatin Distillery was established in 1897 and was better known as Tomatin Spey Distillery Co. Ltd. The distillery went bankrupt in 1906 but it was then reopened in 1909. It managed to produce whisky till 1986 before being bought over by a Japanese company Takara Shuzo and at this time it was renamed Tomatin Distillery Co Ltd. This distillery is a massive operation producing around 2 and a half million litres of spirit each year but it has the capacity to produce 5 million litres. Most of the whisky produced at Tomatin goes into blended whisky which consist of their own brands named Antiquary and Talisman. This distillery though wants to be know for its single malt whisky, and have stepped up their game in this area.

Since its first release back in 2011 the Tomatin 30 years old has been the number one whisky in our whiskies to try before you die journal. The flavour in each bottle has led this whisky to many top awards both locally and worldwide. It was discontinued for a short period and but it has came back with a bang. When Tomatin reaches 18 years old we find the flavours created by the casks form a perfect balance of fruits, oak and savoury characters. When it reaches 30 years the perfect dram has been created. Matured for 30 years in ex-Bourbon casks and new fresh charred ex-Bourbon casks. Bottled at 46% abv and a true delight to have been tasted.
