The Italian Collection expressions were each distilled on 6th December 2010, the spirit laid down in traditional Scotch Whisky oak casks for 10 years.
Part 2 of the Italian Collection, the Amarone Edition is matured in Amarone Wine casks.
On 10th February 2021 it was then moved into Marsala, Amarone and Barolo wine casks for a further 2 years, resulting in a wonderful trio of single malt Scotch Whiskies.
This collection is a true celebration of both Scotland’s heritage and Italy’s illustrious wine history, which spans over 4,000 years. It also nods to our ‘To What Matters’ brand platform, emphasising the importance of human connection and honouring the legacy of the people and place involved in the creation of our finest Highland whisky.
Scott Adamson, Tomatin Blender & Global Brand Ambassador, summed it up beautifully:
“The Italian Collection combines the rich tapestry of Italian wine culture with our elegant Highland single malt whisky. Italy has a historic, unrivalled passion for single malt scotch whisky, so this latest trio of releases, is a tribute to that longstanding relationship with a unique take on our traditional Highland malt.”
“We aimed to capture the essence of Italian wine—its history, nature, landscape, and traditions – and weave it into our whisky, all embodied within a single glass. Each expression in this collection is a testament to the seamless blending of these two worlds, offering a truly exceptional tasting experience for whisky lovers.”
Nose: Aromas of poached pears and traditional rhubarb and custard sweets lead.
Palate: On the palate notes of strawberry jam are accompanied by Turkish delight and light butter pastry.
Finish: The finish is rich with cinnamon spiced red apple.
