Strathdearn is a valley on the River Findhorn with its famous bridge and belongs to the parish of Tomatin.

The Legacy bottling is Tomatin's entry-level malt and is intended as a reminder of the distillery's heritage. In 1897, the home of Tomatin was still a rather lonely area. Thanks to the distillery, the village developed into a thriving town. The whisky matured in bourbon barrels and fresh oak casks.

The 12-year-old from Tomatin is the distillery's classic. After storage in bourbon casks, the Single Malt is matured for six to nine months in sherry casks.

Tomatin Cù Bòcan is an experimental whisky from the Highlands distillery, made from lightly peated barley malt and distilled in limited batches each winter. Cù Bòcan means 'ghost dog' in Gaelic. Legend has it that the inhabitants of the Tomatin area were haunted by a ghost dog, which dissolved into blue smoke and disappeared over the moors of the Highlands. Each bottling of Cù Bòcan is matured in different cask combinations to bring out the exceptional tastes in the Single Malt. This malt was matured in three types of casks: The bourbon casks made it soft and sweet, the oloroso sherry casks gave it its lush fruitiness and the fresh American white oak casks contributed pure and fresh notes.

The Tomatin Cask Strength completes the distillery's range with a cask strength bottling.

This Tomatin belongs to Gordon & MacPhail's Discovery Series, all of whose bottlings differ in Taste and production. Thus, there are the three flavour profiles bourbon cask, sherry cask and smoky (smoky). The different characters differ in their colour design: green = bourbon cask; purple = sherry cask; white/grey = smoky.

The 14-year-old Tomatin was added to the distillery's standard range in 2014. At that time, the Single Malt was the first bottling of the distillery that was allowed to mature in port wine casks.

The 12-year-old Cù Bocan from the Tomatin Distillery is a summery Single Malt that was distilled on 10 December 2010. It matured in Caribbean rum casks from the regions of Barbados and Guyana. As the characteristics of these casks are quite different, the whisky is released in different batches. The casks from Barbados offer a range of aromas of fresh tropical fruits and invigorating maritime notes. The casks from Guyana, on the other hand, give this Single Malt more depth and notes of warming spice.

With The Alba Trail series, the German importer Alba Import releases bottlings from its cask stocks at renowned distilleries. This 15-year-old Tomatin comes from a refill Bourbon hogshead and is bottled without chill-filtering and without the addition of colour.

The Tomatin Marsala belongs to the Italian Collection. All bottlings of the limited series were distilled on 6 December 2010 and bottled in June 2023 without chill filtering or the addition of colour. Aged for 10 years in traditional Scotch whisky oak casks and then refined for a further two years in Marsala wine casks from Italy, the result is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky that combines the art of Scottish distilling with flavourful facets from Italy. Marsala is a fortified wine that owes its name to the port city in Sicily. Its taste is mostly characterised by spicy facets of almonds, honey and subtle vanilla notes.

The Tomatin Barolo belongs to the Italian Collection. All bottlings of the limited series were distilled on 6 December 2010 and bottled in June 2023 without chill filtering or the addition of colour. Aged for 10 years in traditional Scotch whisky oak casks and then refined for a further two years in Barolo wine casks from Italy, this Single Malt Scotch Whisky was created, combining the art of Scottish distilling with tasteful facets from Italy. Barolo is a dry wine from northern Italy that is known worldwide for its exclusivity and its complex, high-quality Taste.

This 16-year-old Tomatin was first matured in former bourbon casks and then refined in Portuguese Moscatel wine barriques. The initial maturation combined with the finish brings pleasant aromas of sweet orange marmalade with dried fruit to the nose. The palate is a little spicier. The Tomatin Moscatel Cask is bottled at 46.0% vol. with slightly increased drinking strength and neither coloured nor chill-filtered.

The Highland distillery Tomatin is located near the city of Inverness and was at times the largest distillery in Scotland. It produced 12 million litres of alcohol annually. Most of the malt whisky went in large quantities to other companies and to the Scottish blending industry. When the whisky bubble burst in 1985, Tomatin's focus changed: nowadays, more emphasis is placed on quality than quantity, and Tomatin's Single Malts are highly regarded by whisky connoisseurs and gourmets.
