Fadandel.dk is the Danish importer of Milroy’s bottlings, and we are proud to present this Milroy’s Tomatin Peated 13-Year-Old Soho Selection, a 13-year-old, heavily peated Tomatin Single Malt Scotch Whisky, distilled in 2010 and bottled at 50.4% ABV. We have received a very limited number of bottles for Denmark, making this a particularly interesting opportunity to experience a different and much smokier side of Tomatin.
This Tomatin was matured in an American Oak Hogshead, allowing the distinctive peat smoke to develop alongside the character of Tomatin’s spirit. The result is a rich and intriguing expression, combining malty notes with spiced clementine, smoked pistachios and an underlying sweetness.
It offers a completely different perspective on Tomatin from the style for which the distillery is best known. While Tomatin is traditionally associated with a soft, elegant and fruity Highland character, the peated spirit in this expression introduces a much more pronounced layer of smoke and earthy complexity.
Distilled back in 2010, this whisky was drawn from the very first cask filled that year – hence the number 1 on the selection. It is non-chill filtered and contains no added colour, allowing the whisky to retain its natural character.
Overall impression of this Tomatin: A rich, round and warming Tomatin, wrapped in an unusual layer of smoke. An intriguing expression that offers the opportunity to experience Tomatin from a more powerful and heavily peated perspective.
Short about Tomatin
Tomatin Distillery is located in the Scottish Highlands, around 25 kilometres south of Inverness, and has a long history as an important part of the local community. While whisky production in the area is believed to date back as far as the 15th century, the first formal distillery on the present site was established in 1897. Its development was closely linked to the arrival of the Highland Railway, which made it easier to transport both raw materials and whisky to and from the remote Highland location.

Its development was closely linked to the arrival of the Highland Railway, which made it easier to transport both raw materials and whisky to and from the remote Highland location.
Tomatin expanded dramatically after the Second World War as global demand for Scotch whisky increased. By 1974, the distillery had grown to an impressive 23 stills, with an annual production capacity of around 12.5 million litres of alcohol. At the time, Tomatin was the largest malt distillery in the world.
Following the downturn in the Scotch whisky industry during the 1980s, Tomatin was purchased in 1986 by the Japanese companies Takara Shuzo and Okura & Co. This marked the beginning of a new chapter for the distillery. In 2002, Tomatin made the decision to reduce the number of stills from 23 to 12, allowing the focus to shift from large-scale production towards the development of single malt whisky. Those 12 stills remain in operation today.
Today, Tomatin is particularly known for its classic Highland Single Malt, which is generally characterised by a soft, light, fruity and elegant style. The distillery’s tall, slender copper stills play an important role in creating this lighter, fruitier spirit, while the naturally soft water from the Alt-na-Frith burn and careful maturation are also key elements of Tomatin’s house style.
However, Tomatin also has a smoky side. In 2005, the distillery began producing small batches of lightly peated spirit, originally for just one week each year. The quality of this peated spirit was quickly recognised, and the seasonal production continued. In 2013, this spirit became the foundation for the launch of Cù Bòcan, Tomatin’s own experimental lightly peated Highland Single Malt.
This is precisely what makes this Milroy’s Tomatin Peated 13 Year Old so interesting. Here, Tomatin’s familiar soft and fruity Highland character meets a much more pronounced layer of peat smoke. The combination creates a very different expression from the classic Tomatin style and makes this bottling an exciting choice for whisky enthusiasts looking to explore the distillery’s more heavily peated side.
