A world first. Tomatin's fruity spirit gets a spell in Spanish Verdejo casks - never before used in Scotch whisky maturation. Australian exclusive. Non chill filtered.

Notes from the importers... The story began years ago, when in an absolute masterstroke, and a first for whisky, Tomatin Distillery sourced Verdejo white wine casks from Belondrade y Lurton wines in the Rueda region of Spain to mature their trademark delicate spirit. For centuries, Rueda has famously been growing Verdejo grapes and creating Verdejo wine - a crisp, bright white wine similar to a Sauvignon Blanc, but then along came Didier Belondrade of French Wine fame, who decided to put a twist on the classic Verdejo release. He created a Verdejo wine, but in a French style using 300L French Oak casks which mellow the crisp wine giving it a creamy, luscious mouthfeel and these casks then made their way to Tomatin, where they truly fulfilled their destiny! After a quick invigorating light char they were filled with Tomatin spirit and the rest is Scotch whisky history. Get set for waves of Golden Delicious apples, candied citrus and profiteroles on the nose, peaches and panna cotta on the palate and a rolling vibrant finish of chocolate, blackberry jam and light spiced oak.
