Tomatin – 1978

Cask numbers 49541 and 49542 have been lying gracefully in Warehouse 6 since being filled on September 21st, 1978. After thirty years, the spirit was moved to the finest first-fill Spanish oloroso sherry casks and laid down for a further decade. In perfect harmony, aromas of stewed fruits, dark maple syrup and bursts of orange peel and bergamot meet soft flavours of dark chocolate, warming spices and salted caramel before a long, silky finish. Each of the 350 units is decanted into an exquisite hand-blown Glencairn Crystal decanter with unique copper decoration. This luxury bottle is presented with two glasses (also Glencairn Crystal), a solid copper stopper, along with a numbered certificate detailing the remarkable journey of the whisky.
