Tomatin 1967-2007 - 40 Year Old - Signatory Vintage - Cask Strength Collection - Single Cask 2632
Tomatin 1967 - 2007. 40 Year Old. Bottled by Signatory Vintage for their Cask Strength collection. Cask number 2632. One of 415 bottles matured in a Gonzalez Byass Oloroso Sherry Butt. 70cl. 51.8%.
A 40-year-old single cask Tomatin 1967 bottled by Signatory Vintage in 2007. Cask 2632 was an Oloroso sherry butt from the prestigious Gonzalez-Byass house that yielded 415 bottles at its impressive natural cask strength of 51.8%, and this is a totally classic long-aged Tomatin, an extremely complex dram with fresh and candied fruit flavours, wax, fruit and nut liqueurs and lots of spicy tobacco notes.
Tomatin’s splendid Highland single malt whisky has long been an unsung hero, despite being at one point the largest distillery in Scotland, with a 1974 expansion taking the total number of stills to 23 before financial liquidation in the 1980s ushered in a long, stable era of Japanese ownership. Nowadays, Tomatin has cut back to 12 stills and has a capacity of around 5m litres per annum, although actual production is only around 2m litres.
Tomatin has increased its profile recently, reaping the benefits of a strong wood policy, and awareness of the distillery’s quality is higher than ever thanks to some spectacular official and independent bottlings of 1970s vintages, the best of which show beautiful tropical fruit notes. The standard range is full of reliably high quality drams that punch above their price, and older bottlings of Tomatin are still very good value at auction.
Signatory Vintage Whisky Company was founded by Andrew Symington in 1988 after a spell as assistant manager at the Prestonfield House Hotel, where he had the opportunity to buy a cask of Glenlivet 1968. A robust and canny businessman, Symington had soon acquired some outstanding parcels of casks from great distilleries, and quickly established a reputation among single malt fans for good value, high quality single casks, the majority of which were released at full strength.
Throughout the 1990s and beyond, Signatory released outstanding whisky from Ardbeg, Glenfarclas, Springbank and many more, with frequently remarkable examples of lost or obscure distilleries. Soon established as one of the leading new wave independent bottlers, Symington was also an early exponent of bottling whiskies without colouring or chill filtration, a policy that has also served Signatory well at their Edradour distillery, which was purchased in 2002.
