Tomatin launches final French Collection whisky

Scotch single malt whisky brand Tomatin has launched the final edition in its limited-edition French Collection. 

The Cognac Edition uses whisky distilled in 2008, which began its maturation in traditional Scotch whisky oak casks before being moved into ex-Cognac casks in November 2018 for its final stage of maturation.

To celebrate this final launch in The French Collection, Highlands distiller Tomatin has released the final instalment of a four-part immersive content series that was created to complement the collection. It is available to view on the Tomatin website.

Launched in 2020, Tomatin's French Collection also includes the Montbazillac Edition, Sauternes Edition and Rivesaltes Edition whiskies.

Graham Eunson, master distiller at Tomatin, said: "The fourth and final release from Tomatin's French collection is the jewel in the crown. The Cognac Edition, along with the rest of the collection, showcases our innovative dedication to craft and excellence, and is the perfect illustration of the art of comparative final maturation.

"We have been overjoyed by the response from the whisky community to the earlier releases, and by introducing the Cognac finish as the final edition, we hope to attract a wider audience to our unique concept allowing them to better understand the art of cask maturation."

The Cognac Edition is available to purchase through the Tomatin online shop and other specialist retailers (RRP £65).
