Tomatin Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky won seven Double Gold and four Gold awards at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirit Competition, three of which were for the company’s travel retail range.
Graham Nicolson, Sales Director of Tomatin said: “This has been an amazing year for Tomatin, especially with regards to our travel retail range. The fact that we’ve received a gold or double gold award for every whisky we entered is a fantastic achievement. I’m proud to say the Tomatin range excels at all levels.”
Regarding the travel retail range in particular, Tomatin picked up the following: Tomatin 8 Year Old Bourbon Single Malt – Double Gold Medal; Tomatin 40 Year Old Single Malt – Double Gold Medal and a Gold Medal for the Tomatin 15 Year Old American Oak Single Malt.
The latest victories add to 60 prestigious accolades across the board for the whisky brand over the last decade.
Tomatin’s core range starts at entry level with Tomatin Legacy (£30) and extends to the Tomatin 36 Year Old (£600). All products in the Core Range have been awarded Gold or Double Gold at this year’s awards and over the past decade Tomatin has received 17 Double Gold, 24 Gold, 16 Silver and two Bronze medals.
WORLD WHISKY AWARDS
Graham Eunson, Distillery Manager at Tomatin, said: “Over 3,000 spirits were judged at this year’s awards, and to triumph across the board is a big accomplishment for the Distillery team.
“Our wood policy is second to none; we produce a high-quality spirit which develops into exceptional whisky through maturation in the right casks, these awards prove that we’re amongst the best in the world.”
Tomatin’s 30 Year Old, the latest addition to the core range, was also awarded with ‘World’s Best Design’ at the World Whisky Awards held in London, this is Tomatin’s first dedicated ‘Design’ win at this ceremony.
