Single malt scotch whisky distillery Tomatin has launched a comprehensive packaging refresh across its core range, placing its wood management credentials at the center of a striking new visual identity. The redesign is rolling out globally, starting with Tomatin Legacy and Tomatin 12 Year Old Triple Cask, with remaining expressions to follow in the months ahead.
The updated packaging features a striking box adorned with a golden foil wood-grain motif symbolizing the natural tree rings found in oak. Each expression is distinguished by a vibrant colorway, spanning dark indigo, forest green, scarlet red, rich purple, and teal blue.

Jennifer Masson, head of marketing at Tomatin, said: “This bold new packaging reflects what we do best at Tomatin — exceptional cask management, craftsmanship and attention to detail. It aligns our visual identity with consumer expectations in modern retail and on-trade settings and gives our whiskies greater presence in global markets.”
Messaging across the range has been streamlined with clearer product names further clarified by the distinctive colorways and simplified information.
As part of the update The Tomatin 12 Year Old has been renamed Tomatin 12 Year Old Triple Cask with a rich green colour featured on the label and box. This more clearly distinguishes it from the 12 Year Old Sherry Cask which will also receive the enhanced label treatment in deep red.
Global travel retail expressions, including Tomatin 8 Year Old and Tomatin 13 Year Old, will transition to the updated packaging throughout 2026.
