The Tomatin Distillery Company in The Highlands is adding two new Limited Edition Vintage bottlings to their award-winning whisky portfolio.   

Personally approved by Distillery Manager, Douglas Campbell, the limited edition Tomatin Single Highland Malt 30 Years Old and 40 Years Old are to meet the growing demand from Tomatin enthusiasts keen to discover new and rare expressions from the highly respected distillery.  Drawing on Douglas’ 46 years of experience at Tomatin Distillery, the exceptional casks used to bottle these vintages were selected for their unique characteristics from the many thousands that are currently warehoused at Tomatin.  

The Tomatin 30 Years Old, deep gold in appearance, offers a nose resembling polished leather, fruit cake with hints of orange and a smooth, almost creamy palette with orange spice. Bronze in colour, The Tomatin 40 year old has the aroma of beeswax and stewed apples, with a hint of marzipan.  Complex and exceptionally smooth, with some liquorice the 1967 Single Malt is creamy and full-bodied, with a long lingering finish that coats the palate.  These excellent malts are limited worldwide to 1500 bottles of the 30 Years Old and 1614 bottles of the 40 Years Old.  

UK recommended retail prices per bottle start at £180 for the 30 Years Old and £450 for the 40 Years Old, reflecting their rarity.  These new bottlings join the award-winning core range, which includes the Single Malt 12 Years Old, 18 Years Old and 25 Years Old. The presentation of these rare vintages previews the new Tomatin branding which will be introduced throughout the range early in 2009 Alistair Mutch, Director of Harvey Miller Wine & Spirit Agencies, UK distributors for Tomatin commented: “Tomatin Distillery produces some of the finest and award-winning whiskies in the world. Both single casks are of the highest quality and an excellent addition to the Tomatin portfolio. ” Stephen Bremner, Marketing and Sales Manager for Tomatin Distillery commented: “With over four decades of experience at Tomatin Distillery, Douglas knows our warehouse and casks better than anyone else. He has made a superior selection in the 30 and 40 Years Old Malts and we expect them to be extremely popular with whisky enthusiasts in the UK and internationally.”
