Description

Tomatin Distillery was founded in 1897 and spent most of its life producing whisky for the blending industry; however, in the 1970s it was Scotland's biggest producer of single malt whisky. In 1986, the distillery became the first fully Japanese-owned Scottish distillery when Takara Shuzo joined forces with trading company Okara. Since 2004 when the 12 Year Old was first released, Tomatin has been a staple of this excellent but underrated Highland distillery's core range of single malt whiskies. This is an early edition of the 12-year-old in the old tall bottle presentation. [cite: Scotch Whisky Auctions, 3, 14]
