Tomatin Legacy Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky comes from the historic Tomatin Distillery in the Scottish Highlands and showcases the distillery’s characteristically smooth and fruity style, with no age statement. For its maturation, Tomatin relies on a combination of ex-bourbon casks and virgin American oak casks. Whilst the ex-bourbon casks primarily bring out soft vanilla and fruity notes, the fresh oak adds extra spice and structure to the single malt. The Tomatin Distillery was founded in 1897 and is situated south of Inverness in the Highlands. The Legacy was conceived as an accessible expression of the distillery, combining its distinctive character with a clear influence of American oak.

At 43 per cent in the 0.7-litre bottle, the Tomatin Legacy Single Malt is bottled at a slightly higher strength than many classic entry-level expressions. The combination of bourbon casks and virgin oak ensures a balanced interplay of fresh fruit, vanilla and spicy oak. As a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky with no age statement, the Legacy focuses less on a specific maturation period and more on a carefully selected cask composition. To achieve this, Tomatin combines only malt whiskies from its own distillery, which is why it is clearly a single malt and not a blended whisky. The Tomatin Legacy is therefore ideal both as an introduction to the Highland distillery’s range and for lovers of uncomplicated, fruity single malts with American oak influence.
