Tomatin’s History

Tomatin is a remote Highland distillery located up in the Monadhliath Mountains near Inverness in Scotland. At 315 metres above sea level, its also one of the highest distilleries in Scotland after Dalwhinnie, about 40 miles South West.

Like many distilleries, illicit distillation was said to have taken place on the site well before the distillery was officially established, it’s said whisky had been made there as far back as the 15th Century. In fact, the name Tomatin translates to “Hill of the Juniper Bush” – with juniper wood being the wood of choice for use in secret distilleries, due to the fact that it gives off no smoke…

The distillery, known then as the Tomatin Spey District Distillery Ltd, was officially established in 1897 during the height of the Victorian Whisky Boom. Despite the elevation and apparent isolation, the site was rather a good one for a distillery, being nearby a newly built railway, and it’s just 29km south of Inverness. Not to mention the constant supply of soft, Highland water from the Alt na Frith.
