Hearty beginnings..
A comforting bowl of classic Scottish Cullen skink sets a warm and inviting tone for any Burns Supper. Rich, creamy and delicately smoky, it pairs beautifully with our Tomatin 10 Year Old single malt. Matured exclusively in bourbon casks, this expression brings bright notes of lemon sherbet, crisp green apple and gentle sweetness – lifting the depth of the soup without overshadowing it. Light, fresh and wonderfully approachable, our Tomatin 10 Year Old is a welcoming dram to start your Burns Night meal.
Tomatin 10 Year Old is available exclusively at Waitrose and on Amazon.
The key address..
As the haggis is piped in, Tomatin Double Cask makes an ideal whisky at your Burns Supper. Matured in ex‑bourbon and ex‑Oloroso sherry casks, it brings soft vanilla, baked apple and warming spice that complement the peppery haggis and the sweetness of neeps and tatties. Balanced and easy to share, Tomatin Double Cask is an ideal choice for anyone searching for the best whisky to drink at a Burns Supper. It is a natural fit for the heart of the Burns Night table!
Tomatin Double Cask is available exclusively at Tesco and on Amazon.
