- Description
- Distilled in 1972 and aged for over 41 years in three sherry hogsheads at Tomatin's traditional dunnage warehouse, this exceptional Highland single malt represents the slow, deliberate maturation that defines rare vintages. Four decades in sherry cask would have built deep colour, concentrated dried fruit, spice, and leather notes, with the oak influence becoming increasingly prominent in the later years. This is a collector's whisky for those with the patience to savour a piece of distilling history.
