Tomatin continues grocery success with 10-year-old single malt whisky
Highland distiller Tomatin has released an exceptional new bourbon matured 10-year-old single malt whisky created specifically for the grocery and convenience channels.
Available in Waitrose and on Amazon from 9 November 2025, Tomatin 10 Year Old has been carefully curated to offer a taste of luxury at an affordable and accessible price point. The release, bottled at 40% ABV and retailing at £42, further establishes Tomatin in the UK grocery channel and introduces a new aged single malt from the distillery to the sector.
The new expression follows the success of Tomatin Double Cask which was launched in Tesco and on Amazon earlier this year, and is being rolled out in export markets over the next 12 months. The supermarket range’s refreshed outer packaging is designed to enhance shelf stand out in both grocery and convenience environments.
Scott Adamson, blender and global brand ambassador at Tomatin, said: “Our new 10-year-old single malt isn’t a traditional whisky, and this is all down to our cask choice. It’s impossible to hide a bad whisky in a bourbon barrel, and the art of maturation in these very special casks is something we’ve perfected over the years to create a quality, honest whisky.
“Having spent much of the past decade experimenting with different cask types and appreciating the range of flavours which can be crafted through maturation, Tomatin 10 Year Old is exquisite in its simplicity. As a distillery, we do bourbon very well, and we’re proud to release this exceptional whisky.”
Gordon Hynd, UK sales director at Tomatin, said: “Tomatin is going from strength to strength in the grocery and convenience sectors as we further establish the brand in these channels. Tomatin 10 Year Old is a welcome age-statement addition to our supermarket range which, as with Tomatin Double Cask, has been developed with customer requirements front of mind – creating a whisky synonymous with accessible luxury.
“This single malt has been designed to expand on our existing range and increase distribution to our UK retail partners, in addition to the existing channels already represented by the rest of our distillery’s core products.”
While most Tomatin whiskies have been matured in sherry, port or wine casks, Tomatin 10 Year Old is exclusively matured for a decade in bourbon casks, creating a single malt with a sweet, fruity, buttery profile designed to appeal to the curious consumer.
Tomatin 10 Year Old delivers aromas of lemon sherbet sweets and crunchy green apples followed by buttery croissants, white chocolate and macadamia nuts. On the palate, lemon meringue pie, honey and a touch of toffee are complemented by apricot and peach before a clean and fresh finish.
Presented in a premium 70cl bottle, Tomatin 10 Year Old is encased in refreshed outer packaging featuring ochre detailing which elegantly symbolises the tree rings found in oak – a nod to the distillery’s first-class wood policy and enduring commitment to knowing the history of each cask that passes through its warehouses.
With a proud heritage dating back to the 15th century, Tomatin has been a home for the whisky making team’s dedicated craftsmen and their families since the distillery was established in 1897.

Notes
Tomatin is located in the Scottish Highlands, 16 miles south of Inverness, and is famous for its portfolio of refined and elegant whiskies. The distillery has a proud heritage stretching back to the 15th century when illicit production was likely to be taking place, but it wasn’t until 1897 that the first formal distillery was established by John MacDougall as the Tomatin Spey Distillery Company.
In 2022, Tomatin was awarded ‘Scotch Whisky Producer of the Year’ and ‘Outstanding Spirits Producer of the Year’ at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC). Later that year, it was recognised as ‘Sustainable Distillery of the Year’ at Whisky Magazine’s Icons of Whisky 2023, in recognition of its continued contribution to sustainably at the distillery.
In 2023, Tomatin took home seven awards at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while Cù Bòcan, took home three. Tomatin’s 36 Year Old was crowned the ultimate winner at SFWSC for malts, being named ‘Best in Show’, officially making it one of the best whiskies in the world.
Building upon this triumph, 2024 saw Tomatin’s 18 Year Old secured Double Gold for the third consecutive year at the SFWSC, elevating it to Platinum status. Meanwhile, both Tomatin’s 45 Year Old and 12 Year Old, alongside Cù Bòcan’s 15 Year Old took home Double Gold Awards, and Cù Bòcan’s 12 Year Old also secured a prestigious Gold Award.
This year, Tomatin has been awarded Gold designation for its Tomatin Sherry Collection Ximénez Edition and Silver for both its Sherry Collection Manzanilla Edition and Sherry Collection Palo Cortado Edition in the inaugural 2025 Whiskey Wash Awards.
‘To What Matters’ is the latest chapter in the brand’s evolution; it is a positive call to arms that represents the spiritual DNA of Tomatin – a belief in savouring what is truly important in life and time spent together.
