Distillery Information
Tomatin distillery dates back to 1897, but in 1986 it became the first distillery in Scotland to be wholly-owned by Japanese commercial interests. This followed its liquidation the previous year. One previous customer of Tomatin was the Kyoto-based distiller Takara Shuzo, which had been founded in 1842 and had been importing the whisky in bulk since the 1960s. Having closed its own Japanese distillery, it joined forces with fellow Tomatin importer, the Tokyo-based trading company Okura & Co to form Tomatin Distillery Company Limited.
