Tomatin Cask 70cl. - Case
Tomatin is a whiskey distillery located south of Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, and was founded in 1897 by a group of Inverness businessmen. It was expanded numerous times and at the end of 1974 it had 23 stills and a production capacity of 12 million liters per year. This success made it the largest distillery in Scotland, ahead of Glenfiddich. However, the success could not be sustained and it had to close in the mid-1980s. In 1986, the distillery was bought by two Japanese companies - Takara Shuzo and Okuru & Co. Ltd. And returned to production. This made it the first Scotch whiskey distillery to be Japanese owned. Both companies are now part of the larger Marubeni Europe plc. The Tomatin distillery is little known despite remaining one of the largest in Scotland, with an annual production capacity of just over five million liters.
