Tomatin 36 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Batch 6 (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: 36 Years Old Country: Scotland
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.
The Tomatin 36 year old is matured in a combination of ex bourbon American oak casks and first fill ex oloroso Sherry butts. The whisky inside this well presented bottling is truly exceptional and a memorable experience for anyone that has the pleasure of owning a bottle.
