Tomatin – Cask Strength - Bourbon & Sherry Casks (70cl, 57.5%)

Tomatin – Cask Strength - Bourbon & Sherry Casks is a single malt whisky from Tomatin (Highland). Bottled at 57.5% ABV, 70cl. Tomatin Distillery was founded in 1897 by the Tomatin Spey Distillery Company, located in the Highlands between Aviemore and Inverness. Going through various fluctuations in production whilst growing from 2 stills to 23 stills throughout the 60s and 70s before going into liquidation. In 1985 the Distillery was purchased by long-term Japanese customers, Takara Shuzo Co. and Okara & Co. thus becoming the first Scottish distillery to be under Japanese management. Later the prestigious Antiquary blender J&W Hardie was added to the portfolio, and Marubeni bought the distillery. In more recent years production has been downsized to utilise just 10 stills and the decision was made to focus on the single malt range, such as the 'Cu Bocan' expression released in 2013. Introduced in early 2015, this is the first cask-strength bottling to join Tomatin's core range and is matured in a combination of bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks before being bottled at a cask strength of 57.5% ABV.
