Inspired by the Scenic Landscape: Bespoke Decanter and Packaging
Tomatin’s new luxury style for its premium range is showcased in the packaging of the 45 Year Old.
The bespoke decanter is made of Glencairn crystal, with a golden stopper, and encased in a striking high gloss wooden box. The packaging, with hues of dark chocolate browns and gold, subtly references the distillery’s scenic landscape.
The curved doors and etchings on the wooden box represent the rolling hills surrounding the distillery and the spirit travelling up the stills.
Tasting Profile: Tropical Spirit with a Mix of Dried Fruits
Bottled at 41.5% ABV, the 45-Year-Old single malt whisky has been gently matured in a Spanish Oloroso sherry cask for over 45 years, resulting in a tropical spirit on the nose.
This is followed by a wave of summer berries and cherry, with freshly roasted coffee beans providing a dryness.
On the palate, the whisky develops a mix of dried tropical fruits before a burst of tangy Sanguinello blood orange, salted caramel chocolate, and a hint of herbal bitters.
A satin-like texture cloaks the palate with dried tropical fruits and tangy citrus. The subtle influence of the sherry cask comes through lightly at the end.

Tomatin’s 45 Year Old single malt whisky is a robust but complex spirit with a varied tasting profile.
Its rarity makes it perfect for a truly special occasion and the ideal addition for global collectors.

Tomatin’s Heritage: A Great Story of Craftsmanship
Whisky production has been central to the way of life in Tomatin since the 15th century, with the first formal distillery established in 1897.
Today, the local landscape and community remain at the heart of the brand, with many of the distillery’s craftspeople working on-site for their entire working lives.
