TOMATIN WHISKY TASTING – WEDNESDAY 8TH JUNE

Having had the Scottish Icons of Whisky Brand Ambassador for 2016 come along to  present our last tasting we follow on the trend with our next tasting as it will feature the Scottish Icons Distiller of the Year – Tomatin distillery from the Highlands.  Situated in the Monadhliath Mountains just south of Inverness, this might be a large scale distillery but the whisky making is on a very personal level – with many of the families involved living on site, a most unusual occurrence nowadays and something that gives a strong sense of community and continuity to the whole process.

We are very fortunate as Alistair Mutch will be coming back to present the Tomatin whiskies to us and, as those who were present last time will testify, Alistair is a most entertaining and knowledgeable presenter.  In the four years since we had a Tomatin tasting they have garnered more than a few awards for their rich and mellow whiskies that represent the ‘softer side of the Highlands’ and there is something for most tastes as the range currently includes cask strength, port finish (which is gorgeous!) and peated expressions alongside whiskies of various ages that have matured in new oak, bourbon or sherry or a mix thereof.

Tickets are £15 per person and will be available to buy online from 1.15pm on Friday 22nd April.  Please note, no bookings will be taken before this time and because of the high demand for these tickets the maximum number per booking is 4.
