Strathdearn (Tomatin) 10 Year Old Madeira Wine Finish Glaschu Spirits Co

Founded in 1897, Tomatin Distillery stands proud as one of Scotland's highest distilleries, in the wild and windy Highland moors, near Loch Ness. Its elevated position in the Monadhliath Mountains means Tomatin's water source, the Alt-na-Frith, gathers very few minerals on its course, making it the perfect source to create a soft and delicate whisky. Strathdearn is Tomatin Distillery's wholesale cask trading name.

This release pairs the distillery's signature character with a succulent, sweet finish reminiscent of Madeira wine. This 10 year old example spent its first 9 years maturing in a refill bourbon barrel, before finishing for a final year in a first-fill Madeira wine cask. What began as a light, vanilla-rich whisky has transformed into a vibrant amber nectar with notes of apricot, caramel and custard. A beautiful winter warmer.
