Here is one
to watch for on your travels this
summer, Tomatin has unveiled a Double
Cask 13 Year Old travel retail exclusive
single malt which was matured in bourbon
barrels and Oloroso sherry casks and
presented in a 1 litre bottle for an
RRP of £54.95.
 Highland distillery Tomatin has expanded
its global travel retail range with the
launch of the travel retail exclusive 13
Year Old Double Cask single malt whisky.
Now available at select travel retail
outlets worldwide, Tomatin Double Cask
13 Year Old is matured in bourbon
barrels and Oloroso sherry casks,
delivering the distillery’s signature
smooth and well-balanced style. Bottled
at 43% ABV and priced at £54.95 (€64.90
EUR), this limited-edition release is
said to offer enticing aromas of baked
apples and pears drizzled with
clove-spiced caramel sauce, complemented
by tropical notes of coconut and guava.
The palate unfolds with flavours of
chocolatey granola, yoghurt-coated dried
cranberries, sultanas, and a touch of
cinnamon.
Exclusively available as a 1-litre
travel retail edition, the new release
strengthens Tomatin’s existing range,
which includes:
- Tomatin 8
Year Old – a bourbon and sherry
cask-matured whisky with vanilla
sweetness (£42 GBP; €47.50 EUR)
- Tomatin 16
Year Old – a luxurious single malt
aged in Portuguese Moscatel wine
barriques (£74.95 GBP; €89.90 EUR)
- Tomatin 21
Year Old – matured exclusively in
first-fill ex-bourbon casks (£190
GBP; €224.90 EUR)
- Tomatin 45
Year Old – aged in Spanish Oloroso
sherry casks, with only 250 bottles
available (€5,500 EUR)
Replacing Tomatin
12 Year Old in global travel retail
(which will remain in domestic markets),
the 13 Year Old features refreshed
packaging with a bold rich purple
design. Gold detailing symbolises tree
rings in oak, a nod to the distillery’s
meticulous wood policy and cask
selection process.
Additionally, Tomatin 8 Year Old will
also adopt the updated design, featuring
a teal blue box and label accented with
the range’s signature gold detailing.
The 8 Year Old is said to offer aromas
of vanilla-sweetened baked apples and
pears evolving into deeper dark fruit
flavours, balanced with ginger and
cinnamon, this elegant 1-litre bottle
will arrive in global travel retail
outlets from summer 2025.
Graham Nicolson, global sales director
at Tomatin, said: "Our global travel
retail range showcases the unrivalled
variety and quality of casks we have to
offer at Tomatin Distillery. The
introduction of our 13-year-old single
malt whisky is a natural evolution in
our portfolio and a welcome addition to
the range.
"Refreshing the outer packaging for our
global travel retail whiskies is part of
our brand progression in this area. It
was important to us to consider the
influence of oak in creating our single
malt whiskies, with gold detailing on
outer packs designed to honour the
importance of wood quality in all that
we do."
With a rich heritage dating back to the
15th century, Tomatin has been home to
generations of dedicated whisky makers
and their families since the
establishment of the current distillery
in 1897.
Tomatin 13 Year Old will be available
from April in major UK and international
airports, including Amsterdam,
Frankfurt, and Istanbul, as well as
select travel retail outlets worldwide.
Priced at £54.95 RRP for a 100cl bottle.
If you have no travel plans in the near
future you will find the current Tomatin
domestic whisky range available from specialist online whisky
shops such as
The Whisky Exchange
and
Master of Malt
