Bottled at 48.1% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural in colour, it was released exclusively to members of The Whisky Club with no wider distribution. First-fill, all-Sherry Tomatin of this kind rarely surfaces on the open market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTomatin 2011 Vintage Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNose: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRed apple, cardamom and mixed berry jam, with glazed ham and dark toffee.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePalate: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBrandy-soaked dates, ripe blood plum and dried apple with butterscotch sauce.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinish: Long and lasting.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy Choose The \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTomatin 2011 Vintage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFour casks is a small allocation by any distillery's standards, and these were 100% first-fill Oloroso Sherry butts — the kind of wood that tends to disappear into blenders' private reserves rather than reach the open market. Tomatin's in-house cooper prepared the casks specifically for this release, and the result leans into everything first-fill Sherry does well: dense fruit, dark spice and a texture closer to dessert than dram. It was never sold outside Whisky Club membership and carries no wider release history, so a bottle on the secondary market is a rare point of entry for collectors who missed the original allocation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Makes the Distillery Revered?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTomatin was the largest malt distillery in Scotland for decades, and that scale is the foundation of everything that follows. Fourteen warehouses hold stock levels most producers can only envy — depth that lets Tomatin be genuinely selective about what it releases under its own name, rather than what it needs to release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eScale alone doesn't explain the reputation. Tomatin runs its own in-house cooperage, a rarity even among established distilleries, and its coopers are recognised industry-wide for the cask preparation quality behind releases like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn recent years the distillery has shifted focus — from bulk blending stock toward age-statement and single-cask releases. An allocation this tightly cut, just four casks, sherry-matured, hand-picked on site, is where that shift is most visible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tomatin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52287194693920,"sku":null,"price":149.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0232\/3232\/files\/Tomatin2011Vintage.png?v=1788232994","url":"https:\/\/whisky.estate\/products\/tomatin-2011-vintage-oloroso-sherry","provider":"Whisky Estate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
