The Softer Side of the Highlands
Tomatin has distilled at its village distillery south of Inverness since 1897, earning a reputation for gentle, fruit-forward Highland malt. The 18 Year Old is the distillery's flagship older expression: after long maturation in traditional oak casks, the whisky enjoys a final maturation in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, which layer dried fruit and nutty richness over Tomatin's signature softness.

Tasting Notes
Dried apricot and nougat lead, with distinctive nutty flavours from the Oloroso sherry casks developing into bursts of tropical fruit. Mellow undertones carry through to a rich, full-bodied finish. If the sherry influence is what draws you, the Tomatin 12 Year Old Sherry Cask is a younger, fully sherry-cask-matured take on the same house style.
How to Enjoy
Best savoured neat in a tulip glass, where the sherry-cask fruit and nuttiness can open up. A few drops of water soften the 46% ABV and coax out more tropical fruit; a single large cube works if you prefer it chilled, though the finish rewards patience at room temperature.
