Tomatin 12, 2006-2019, Oloroso cask 2842, 58.5% – Distillery Exclusive
My friend Tom, who goes by Tomatin on any media that is whisky focused, did a wee bottle share of this a while ago. A Tomatin that worked really well for him up to a level that he wants a … Continue reading
Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 27, 1992-2020, Refill Sherry Butt, 42% – The Maltman
I don’t really try whiskies from the Maltman that often. It’s one of those bottlers that I know exists and releases rather high-scoring drams, most of the time. But when push comes to shove I often have to make a … Continue reading

Tomatin 21, 1st Fill Ex-Bourbon Barrels, 46% – OB for Travel Retail
With things being as they are, this seems a completely random bottle to buy, but somehow I did buy it. I planned to use it last year, in a tasting of some sort, but ended up not doing that for … Continue reading
Tomatin 16, 2001-2017, Bourbon cask 1153, 52.5% – Cooper’s Choice
Tomatin is one of those distilleries that makes rather okay whisky, never bad, but also not often stellar. However, they do some very interesting things every now and then. They did a range of different sherry casks a few years … Continue reading
Tomatin 2015-2020, First Fill Oloroso Cask 990461, 50% – Skene
Honestly, when this came in the mail I wasn’t too enthusiastic about it. A 4 or 5 year old Tomatin from a first fill sherry casks. That almost sounds like it’s just some over-fortified sherry in itself, right? Also, I … Continue reading
Tomatin 21, 1994-2015, 48% – Claxton’s
A second bottling from Claxton’s that I got my hands on. This time it’s a 21 year old Tomatin, which was also discounted to a pretty reasonable price. My view of Tomatin is that it can be a great whisky, … Continue reading
Tomatin 1997-2014, 51% – The Whisky Agency / Liquid Library
When this came out I was planning a trip to Scotland with a couple of friends for the end of 2015. Also, Tomatin was suddenly widely available with some really good bottlings, so I decided to pick one up. What … Continue reading

BTC 2016, sample 1: Tomatin 11, 60%, OB for the Usquebaugh Society
During previous BTCs we (me and other participants) have discussed the difference between a whisky from a bottle and whisky that’s been sampled before. We don’t have a clue what causes it, and there might be several, but there is … Continue reading
Tomatin 2004-2016, 11yo, 60% – OB for the Usquebaugh Society
As always our club bottled a cask of whisky earlier this year. 40 members gathered in Abcoude, near Amsterdam, to participate in a tasting hosted by Scott Adamson of Tomatin Distillery. He guided us through the tasting of four different … Continue reading
