Tomatin Distillery
Since 1897 there has been a quiet revolution unfolding in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. High up amongst the smooth, rounded peaks of the Monadhliath Mountains there is no room for the rugged and robust. Here patience, a gentle hand and a passion for purity rule the day.
In this idyllic spot the naturally soft water of the Alt-na-Frith burn is introduced to tender Scottish barley. Later, from the tall, slim copper stills of the Tomatin Distillery a mellow, fruity spirit is born. Gentle maturation in the cool, stable environment found high above sea level lets the subtle character of this distinctive Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky emerge. The use of carefully selected casks ensures that the softer characters of the precious spirit are never overpowered.
Tomatin Distillery has been producing and blending Single Malt Scotch Whisky since 1897; last year celebrating the distillery’s 125th anniversary.
They own and distribute a wide brand portfolio including their flagship brand, Tomatin Highland Single Malt, Cu Bocan Highland Single Malt Whisky and the Antiquary Blended Scotch Whisky.
Whisky production has been central to the way of life in this area most probably since the 15th century and certainly since 1897 when the first formal distillery on the site was established. The settlement of Tomatin was formed only as a result of the wealth created by the distillery. They want to ensure its legacy and well-being through the means of good environmental practice.
Fifty percent of employees still live on site in the distillery houses, so working at Tomatin is more than just a job for their employees; it’s a way of life. This in turn is reflected in the quality of whisky produced; every bottle of whisky they make is distilled with pride and respect for the environment around them.
The distilling industry, in common with other industries, impacts on the environment in many different ways, such as consumption of energy, water and other natural resources, and it is a source, both directly and indirectly, of atmospheric emissions and trade effluent. Reducing greenhouse gas emission and increasing the use of non-fossil fuels are the cornerstones of the Tomatin Distillery and Scotch Whisky Industry’s efforts to make manufacturing more sustainable and support a low carbon economy.
Sustainability is key to the success of the distillery, its products and its people. They are working continuously to take new steps in improving all areas of production from grain to glass, whether that’s preventing over-abstraction of their water supply, switching to biomass fuel (they were the first distiller in Scotland to do so), repurposing their by-products to generate sustainable fuels, or switching their vehicle fleet over electric and hybrid models. 99% of their packaging is recyclable, and their NPD team is always looking at ways to improve the sustainable credentials of our existing packaging.
