Scottish distiller Tomatin recently launched a new, limited 45-Year-Old single malt.
Available through airports and global travel retail outlets, only 250 individually numbered bottles are available worldwide.
A statement from Tomatin notes that this expression is bottled at 41.5% ABV and is available in a 70cl bottle for a suggested retail price of £7,500 (€8,500).
The distiller explained that this whisky matured in a Spanish Oloroso Sherry cask for more than 45 years before being bottled in early 2023 at natural strength, natural color, and non-chill filtered.
The result, the distiller’s notes show, is a tropical spirit on the nose which is followed by aromas of summer berries and cherry before a dryness in the form of freshly roasted coffee beans.
On the palate, it features flavors of dried tropical fruits, tangy Sanguinello blood orange, salted caramel chocolate, and a hint of herbal bitters.
The whisky comes in a custom-made Glencairn crystal decanter with a golden stopper, and is encased in a high gloss wooden box.
With dark chocolate browns and gold, the packaging showcases Tomatin’s new style for their premium range. The colors reference the distillery’s Highland landscape, while curved doors and etchings on the wooden box represent the rolling hills which surround the distillery and the spirit traveling up the stills.

Each pack comes with a bespoke metal certificate signed by Master Distiller Graham Eunson.
“This is a remarkable moment for the distillery, as we reveal the latest premium aged-statement single malt whisky in our portfolio,” Eunson said. “Our 45 Year Old is a robust but complex single malt with a varied tasting profile that combines succulent fruit flavors with smooth, salty caramel, and a light sherry influence. Its rarity makes it perfect for a truly special occasion and the ideal addition for global collectors.”
