In the heart of the distillery grounds there is a quiet corner. In these sacred surrounds sits the traditional dunnage warehouse. Within, their most treasured casks. These exclusive casks enjoy a magnificent atmosphere, laid low on antique wooden rails above cool earthen floor and stacked single level – unencumbered – so the warehouse men may keep vigil on the gently maturing spirit.

At Tomatin’s very core, Warehouse 6, is a truly special place. Since being distilled on December 8, 1975, the precious spirit inside cask number 35834 has been lying undisturbed in Warehouse 6, gently and slowly maturing in a hand-selected Spanish Oloroso Sherry Butt. The cask’s custodians have been their long-standing distillery men who have been maintaining the warehouses and their exquisite contents over time – indeed over four decades – allowing a well-balanced and elegant spirit to emerge from within.

With patience comes reward. Forty-three years on, the Distillery Manager, Graham Eunson, has declared this spirit ready to be relished. In perfect harmony, tropical and dried fruits, dark chocolate and warm spices balance with the complex background aromas created by decades of slow oxidation in its unique warehouse locale indicating a profound provenance, before a long and elegant finish.

On the nose this functions as an instant sensory teleportation device: it's pure Islay. Peat smoke, beach sand, salt, and just a hint of something pleasingly medicinal. Arbroath smokies too! Or the Ileach equivalent. There's also an extremely appealing fresh herbal quality to be found: lemon balm, bay leaf and even something a bit pine needle-y. Behind that, and developing more with time, there's a really good hit of sweetness with toffee apples, salted caramel and a little bit of chocolate digestive biscuit.

The palate is remarkably complex for a fairly young whisky. The flavours develop and arrive in waves: smoke, sea salt, more chocolate biscuits, charred lemons, little touches of oranges and tropical fruit. There's a slightly waxy and mineralic side, but also more of that bracingly clean and crisp feeling: like being in a coastal pine forest. The finish is long, with herbs, brown sugar and aromatic smoke.

It's lovely stuff, this, with great poise and personality. A bit of a tonic, really.
