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...

Ratings & Reviews
Thomas,
Met and exceeded every expectation. Very smooth with a great mouth feel. As a lover of sherry finished Scotch this is right at the top of my list. This is the first bottle I've tried from this distillery and I'm super impressed. To find an 18 year old at this price is unheard of and at 90 bucks I don't know what more you could ask. This one has a permanent home in my bar.
CHRIS,
I was very pleased and plan on purchasing more. Smooth and interesting.
Joseph,
Description was pretty enticing, so thought I would try a jug... and was very pleasantly surprised. Vanilla, peat, oak... all in there in an extremely workable balance - complex in taste, but simple to appreciate. It's February here, very cold at the moment, and I am really enjoying how it warms my palette and then my throat going down. 3 fingers of this neat in a bucket and sipped whilst watching a ballgame feels pretty decadent. I like it. I notice that the more time you spend with this one, the more you are rewarded.
David,
Very nice
MIchael,
Love it...
