Tomatin Whisky Tasting – Thursday 13th September 2012

For our next tasting we are ‘travelling’ to the Highlands to sample whisky from Tomatin, a distillery that is situated in the Monadhliath Mountains just south of Inverness. Founded in 1897, although it’s a large scale distillery the whisky making is on a very personal level – not least because many of the families involved actually live on site, a most unusual occurrence nowadays and something that gives a strong sense of community to the whole process.

Described as having delicate flavours, yet a rich and mellow style we thoroughly enjoyed getting requainted with Tomatin whisky recently and on Thursday 13th September Alistair Mutch will be coming along to present various expressions from the range. These will go from their deluxe 12 year old blend Antiquary, through the various ages of the Tomatin single malts right up to their 30 year old that was awarded this years ‘The Spirit of Whisky Fringe Award’ – always a top award to get as it is voted for by the visitors to the Whisky Fringe rather than industry pundits.

See below for all the details and if you have any queries just contact us.
