Why You’ll Love It

Tomatin 12 is one of the most reliably satisfying entry-level Highland single malts on the market, and at this price it represents exceptional value. The combination of ex-bourbon and sherry cask maturation produces a profile of real harmony and depth, with orchard fruit, creamy vanilla, gentle nuttiness, and a touch of dried fruit all present in a whisky that is simultaneously approachable and genuinely characterful. Whether you are new to single malt or simply looking for a dependable, everyday Highland dram, this is a bottle that never disappoints.

Distillery & Maturation

Tomatin Distillery was founded in 1897 in the village of Tomatin in the Scottish Highlands, sitting at over 1,000 feet above sea level in the Monadhliath Mountains. The 12 Year Old is matured in a combination of traditional ex-bourbon barrels and sherry casks, each contributing a distinct layer of character to the final whisky. Bottled at 40% ABV.

Tasting Notes

The nose opens with fresh apple and pear, underpinned by hints of malted barley and a touch of honey. On the palate, it is rounded and mellow, revealing flavours of soft orchard fruit, creamy vanilla, and a gentle nuttiness from the sherry cask influence. The finish is smooth and lightly spiced, with lingering notes of dried fruit and oak. Best enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water.

Perfect Serve

Enjoy neat to appreciate the full balance of the bourbon and sherry cask maturation, or add a small splash of still water to open up the orchard fruit and honey aromas. An excellent everyday dram and a fine companion to shortbread, mild cheese, or dried fruits.
