In May 2025, our master distiller, Graham Eunson, retires following over 30 years working in the whisky industry. To commemorate Graham’s service to Tomatin and the industry, we are releasing a limited edition whisky of only 514 bottles.
This extraordinary release is a testament to a lifetime of mastery, crafted from whisky fully matured in two exceptional casks — each representing a defining chapter in Graham Eunson’s career.
The first, a refill hogshead filled in 1990, marks the year he first stepped into the whisky industry. The second, a French oak barrique filled in 2011, commemorates the year he brought his expertise to Tomatin Distillery. More than a tribute, this whisky is Graham’s legacy in liquid form.
Nose
The influence of French Oak Red Wine casks is immediately apparent, with notes of stewed red fruits, apple crumble, and strawberries and cream. The inclusion of lightly peated spirit adds a hint of creosote. Over time, the character of the 1990 cask develops with notes of baking spice, tropical fruits, and light floral aromas. The two casks work in perfect harmony, showcasing their own unique profiles.
Taste
Incredibly deep, though a touch drier than the nose suggests. The mix of peat smoke from the 2011 cask and the rancio-driven influence of the 1990 cask presents an earthy characteristic. From here, layers of dried mango, banana and papaya develop to create an incredibly well-rounded experience.
Finish
Medium in length and drying but with a continued fruity taste.
This release has proved so popular that after selling through our initial allocation of bottles for online customers, we have reallocated additional stock from our visitor centre to our online shop. However, please be aware that this may result in a slight delay on your order arriving.
