Tomatin Warehouse 6 Collection 1976

In the heart of the distillery grounds there is a quiet corner. In these
sacred surrounds sits our traditional dunnage warehouse. Within, our
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 our warehousemen may
keep vigil on the gently maturing spirit. At Tomatin’s very core,
Warehouse 6, is a truly special place.

Filled on December 7th 1976, this whisky was later singled out by our
Master Distiller as special. Lying undisturbed in Warehouse 6 the
exquisite spirit slowly matured in hand-selected Traditional Oak
Hogsheads, developing natural, subtle fruit tones. Over four and a half
decades of watchful waiting by the cask’s custodians has seen this
exclusive expression instilled with great complexity yet it presents a
tremendous youth and vibrancy which is a remarkable balance to
achieve.

With patience comes reward. Forty-five years after it was distilled,
Master Distiller, Graham Eunson has declared the 1976 “extraordinary”.
Of all the amazing whiskies he has sampled in over 30 years in the
industry, this one stands apart from them all. In perfect harmony, aromas
of strawberry liqueur, tropical fruits and roasted coconut balance out
with an exotic spicy character. Golden syrup and marzipan add to the
complexity, developing into rich chocolate, coffee and brown sugar on
the palate. The exotic spices appear once again with a long, refined,
lingering finish.
