Tomatin’s story is built on Highland warmth, a distillery once known for its bustling scale, now celebrated for its quiet craftsmanship. The 12-year expression embodies that shift beautifully. Opening this bottle feels like stepping into a Highland village at sundown: soft light over the hills, fresh orchard air, and a sense of calm that settles instantly. With two bottles in this set, it’s a double share of Highland hospitality.

Tomatin 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2 bottles)
Brand: Tomatin | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 43% | Origin: Highlands, Scotland | Vol: 700ml each

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Fresh apples, pear drops, malt sweetness, and gentle vanilla, like walking through an orchard just after the rain.
Palate: Smooth, rounded, and softly sweet. Notes of honey, caramel, ripe fruit, light spice, and a touch of sherry richness glide across the palate with easy charm. The texture is velvety and approachable.
Finish: Medium and warm with lingering malt, soft fruit, and a gentle trace of oak that fades slowly.

Production Details:
Tomatin 12 is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and sherry casks, giving it both clarity and depth. The distillery’s higher elevation and cooler climate slow maturation, allowing fruit, malt, and subtle sweetness to develop naturally. This expression reflects Tomatin’s modern focus on balance and drinkability rather than heaviness.

Perfect For:
A relaxed dinner gathering, a weekend unwind, or a shared moment with friends when you want a whisky that’s smooth, comforting, and easy to return to. With two bottles, it’s also ideal for gifting and hosting.

Expert Notes:
Tomatin 12 has been praised for its gentle complexity and refined sweetness. Critics appreciate its balance, approachable for newcomers, yet layered enough for seasoned drinkers who value smooth Highland style.

Customer Reviews:
“Soft, fruity, and very easy to drink. A real crowd-pleaser.”
“Sweet, smooth, and comforting. Perfect for sharing.”
“Highland whisky at its friendliest. Always keeps people happy.”

Interesting Fact:
Tomatin was once the largest distillery in Scotland, but today it’s admired for the opposite: small-scale craftsmanship, community roots, and a focus on quality over quantity.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat is ideal to enjoy the soft fruit and honeyed sweetness. A splash of water brightens the orchard notes. Over a large ice sphere, it becomes crisp and refreshing without losing its gentle character.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1897 near the Monadhliath Mountains, Tomatin grew alongside the local community, even building homes and facilities for its workers. Its whiskies today reflect that heritage: warm, generous, and crafted with heart. Surrounded by clean Highland air and pure spring water, the distillery continues to produce some of the region’s most approachable and comforting single malts.
