Tomatin 2014/2026 Woodrows of Edinburgh 11 year old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57,8%

High in the Monadhliath Mountains south of Inverness, Tomatin has been quietly maturing spirit in a cool mountain climate since 1897. One single refill hogshead from that stock, filled in 2014, has now been bottled — not by Tomatin itself, but by Woodrow's of Edinburgh, a bottler that treats its own bonded warehouse like a workshop for flavour.

Expert Description

Woodrow's of Edinburgh Tomatin 11 Year Old Warehouse Reserve is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a Refill Hogshead and bottled at 57.8%.

The whisky belongs to Woodrow's Warehouse Reserve range, reserved for the casks that surprise the bottlers themselves. Woodrow's of Edinburgh often buys whole casks unseen and untasted, trading many of them on to fellow independent bottlers — but when they draw their own sample and it stops them in their tracks, that cask goes into Warehouse Reserve instead. This particular hogshead, cask 300931, was filled in September 2014 and bottled in July 2026. Eleven years of maturation have given the spirit Tomatin's signature soft, fruity Highland character without letting the oak take over. Only 259 bottles came from this single cask, none of them coloured or chill filtered, so nothing the wood gave up along the way has been filtered back out.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Juicy peaches and mango meet a touch of raspberry, with golden syrup and marzipan settling underneath as a sweet, rounded base.

Palate

Silky and mouth-coating, with peach, apricot and dried mango sitting alongside creamy milk chocolate, vanilla syrup and almond butter.

Finish

Medium in length and honeyed, closing out with bergamot, oolong tea and a trace of soft sandalwood that lingers well after the last sip.

Did You Know?

Woodrow's of Edinburgh often buys entire casks without tasting them first, since they also trade casks on to other independent bottlers. Only when they draw a sample for themselves and it genuinely surprises them does the cask make it into their own Warehouse Reserve range. That's exactly how this Tomatin came to be.

Frequently Asked Questions about Woodrow's of Edinburgh Tomatin 11 Year Old

What makes this Tomatin 11 Year Old special?

It comes from a single refill hogshead, bottled at cask strength with no filtration or added colour. Only 259 bottles exist from this one cask, number 300931, chosen by Woodrow's of Edinburgh because it surprised them when they drew the sample themselves.

Should it be enjoyed neat or with ice?

At 57.8% a splash of water opens up the aromas without washing out the sweetness from the peach and syrup notes. Ice isn't recommended, since the cold mutes the honeyed and spiced notes that carry through the finish.

Which glass suits it best?

A Glencairn glass or another tulip-shaped whisky glass brings out both the fruit and the honeyed notes most clearly. See our range of whisky glasses.

What is Woodrow's of Edinburgh, and how do they differ from other bottlers?

Woodrow's of Edinburgh is an independent bottler based in Leith, running its own bonded warehouse. They frequently buy casks unseen, but the ones that surprise them once they draw their own sample end up in their Warehouse Reserve range — always cask strength, natural colour and non-chill filtered.

Where is Tomatin located, and what defines the distillery's style?

Tomatin sits 315 metres above sea level in the Monadhliath Mountains south of Inverness and is one of Scotland's largest Highland distilleries. Its style is soft and approachable, built around honey, vanilla and fruit — all of which come through clearly in this hogshead. See our range of Highland Whisky.

Why are there only 259 bottles of this release?

That figure simply reflects what one single hogshead yielded after 11 years of maturation — no other casks were blended in. It makes the bottle a one-off snapshot of exactly how this cask developed, one that can't be repeated.
