“My heart’s in the Highlands”. Few words feel more fitting for Burns Night, a celebration rooted in place, pride and togetherness. For Tomatin, those words are more than poetry. At the very heart of the Highlands, the distillery has long been shaped by its surroundings and the community that calls it home.
Burns Night is a moment to gather, to share food, drink, stories and tradition around the table and guided by its ‘To What Matters’ ethos, Tomatin celebrates the people, place and purpose that define both its whisky and the spirit of the occasion. This Burns Night, the distillery is inviting hosts and guests alike to mark the evening with a carefully curated collection of whiskies thoughtfully paired to each course of a Burns supper, enhancing the moments that turn a meal into a memory.
Hearty beginnings- Tomatin 10 Year Old
RRP £42 | ABV 40% | 70cl
A comforting bowl of traditional Scottish Cullen skink sets the tone for the evening, rich and warming yet delicate in flavour and Tomatin 10 Year Old single malt, matured exclusively in bourbon casks, is an ideal companion. Its bright notes of lemon sherbet, green apple and gentle sweetness lift the smoky creaminess of the soup without overpowering it. Light, fresh and approachable, this is a dram that welcomes guests to the table.
Tomatin 10 Year Old is available exclusively at Waitrose and on Amazon.
The key address- Tomatin Double Cask
RRP £37 | ABV 40% | 70cl
As the haggis is piped in and Burns’ words are recited, Tomatin Double Cask comes into its own. Matured in ex-bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks, it offers soft vanilla, baked apple and warming spice, flavours that sit comfortably alongside the peppery richness of the haggis and the earthy sweetness of neeps and tatties. Balanced and accessible, this is a whisky made for sharing at the heart of the supper.
Tomatin Double Cask is available exclusively at Tesco and on Amazon.
Indulgent endings- Tomatin 12 Year Old Sherry Cask
RRP £52.50 | ABV 40% | 70cl
When dessert is served, Tomatin 12 Year Old Sherry Cask adds a final layer of indulgence to the meal. Fully matured in sherry oak casks, it brings notes of dried fruit, chocolate fudge, honey and gentle spice that pair beautifully with the richness of a clootie dumpling or the creamy sweetness of a cranachan. Deep and comforting, this is a dram to savour as conversation flows and the evening unfolds.

The final dram- Tomatin Cask Strength Bourbon and Sherry
RRP £62.50 | ABV 57% | 70cl
Once the plates are cleared and the formalities are over, Tomatin Cask Strength Bourbon and Sherry single malt whisky is the perfect way to close the night. Bottled at natural cask strength and matured in first fill ex-bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks, it delivers bold flavours of golden syrup, malt loaf, marzipan and warming spice. Powerful yet balanced, this is a dram for whiling away the evening around the table and raising a final toast to the Bard.
