Tomatin – 10 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 1990s (70cl, 40%)

This is a Tomatin 10 year old Highland single malt, from the 1990s, in a 70cl bottle at 40% ABV. Tomatin was once the largest distillery in Scotland. An expansion in 1976 took it to 23 stills, with a capacity of 10 million litres, but it never ran at full capacity and went into liquidation in 1985. The following year a consortium of long-term customers rescued it, and it became the first Japanese-owned distillery in Scotland. Today it supplies the heart of the Antiquary blend as well as its own single malt.
