Tomatin unveils an extraordinary whisky

Tomatin Distillery has released a new limited-edition 45-Year-Old single malt whisky, which is bottled at 41.5 percent ABV and is available in 70cl with a RRP of £7,500 (€8,500).

The whisky is available from 27th March through airports and global travel retail outlets, with only 250 individually numbered bottles available worldwide.

The liquid has been the product of being gently matured in Spanish Oloroso sherry cask for more than 45 years before being bottled in early 2023 at natural strength, natural colour, and non-chill filtered. This has resulted in a tropical spirit on the nose, which is followed by a wave of summer berries and cherry before a dryness emerges in the form of freshly roasted coffee beans.

A mix of dried tropical fruits develop in the alcoholic beverage before a burst of tangy Sanguinello blood orange, salted caramel chocolate, and a hint of herbal bitters can be found on the palate. Additionally, a satin-like texture cloaks the palate with dried tropical fruits and tangy citrus, followed by the subtle influence of the sherry cask, which comes through lightly at the end.
