Tomatin 18 Year Old
(0.75l, 46%)
The single malt sweet spot.
There is not even a freeway off-ramp for the little town of Tomatin. But that’s OK, keeps the city-folk out. Back in the 1970s, this little out-of-the-way hamlet produced more Whisky than any place in Scotland. Well, that’s no longer true, but their Highland single malt is still a core component of many of the finest blends, including two of their own: Antiquary and Talisman. Today, Tomatin is owned by mega-corp Takara Shuzo from Japan, where demand for their products is huge. But they stab off a select amount of their production for their own signature single malt Whisky line across a range of ages and special editions.
Tomatin 18 is finished in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks. And eighteen years is one of those perfect sweet spots in the aging cycle where you get just about as much floral aroma, dense flavor, and complexity as possible while remaining at a reasonable price point. It has plenty of character and richness and was even voted the “Best Highland single malt” in its category in 2014.
Other accolades:
- 3X Double Gold (SFWSC)
- 2X Gold (WWA)
- Double Gold (Asia WSC)
We could go on forever, but only taste that matters is yours. You be the judge...

John,
Honestly, I couldn’t be happier. It was very smooth and finished nicely. I would highly recommend this bottle, especially to those who enjoy the slightly sweeter profiles.
guest,
Nice sipping scotch, very smooth. Nose is sweet with apple scent being fairly prominent. Taste starts mostly with sweet, honey then oak and sherry come forward at finish. As you sit with it, slight floral notes emerge.
guest,
Great Sherry cask whisky and value for money for the age and quality of the whisky. highly recomended
Will,
Love it!!
Michael,
Wonderful balance! Just a few drops of water makes a huge difference. A great buy!
