Tomatin was once the largest distillery in Scotland, with an expansion in 1976 bringing its still count to a whopping 23 (with a capacity for 10 million litres). An over-stretch at the time, it was forced into liquidation in 1985, never having run at full capacity. The following year it became Scotland's first ever Japanese-owned distillery after it was saved by a consortium of long-term customers. Nowadays it provides the heart to the popular Antiquary blend in addition to continuing to produce a highly regarded single malt.
The very first cask distilled at Tomatin in 1981, this was aged 32 years in Oloroso sherry wood and bottled in 2014 in this stunning decanter.
Cask #001 was an Oloroso sherry butt.
One of 405 bottles.
