About Tomatin Distillery
Tomatin distillery, located near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands, has a history dating back to the late 19th century when it was established in 1897 as the Tomatin Spey Distillery Co Ltd. Although whisky production might have unofficially started there in the 16th century, the formal distillery began with just two stills.
Over the years, Tomatin expanded significantly, increasing its production capacity to 12.5 million litres annually by the 1970s, making it the largest malt distillery in Scotland at the time. However, due to changes in the market, production scaled back, and today, Tomatin produces around 2.5 million litres per year. After experiencing bankruptcy in 1906 and changing ownership several times, Tomatin was eventually acquired by Takara Shuzo in 1986. Under this ownership, the distillery has focused on enhancing its reputation for single malts, expanding its core range, and introducing limited releases like the 32-year-old and 40-year-old expressions.
Additionally, Tomatin produces a lightly peated single malt called Cù Bòcan, which is produced for one week each year at the distillery.

Tomatin is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.
Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.
Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value.
Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
