Tomatin 12 Years Barolo Cask – Case 70cl.
The Tomatin 12 Years Barolo Cask is part of the Italian collection, a limited series created in 2023. This collection represents the third thematic series of the Country Collection, after the French Collection (2021) and the Portuguese Collection(2022). The objective was to experience how the smooth, fruity and idyllic spirit of the Highlands interacts with the wood of the most emblematic wines and spirits of France, Portugal and Italy.
The collection is made up of three limited edition single malts:
- Barolo Edition
- Amarone Edition
- Marsala Edition
With this series, Tomatin wanted to demonstrate how the same whiskey base can be profoundly transformed thanks to the type of barrel used in the final maturation. Each edition reflects the personality of one of the great ones.

Winemaking
The Italian collection is the most recent of the three, designed to capture the Mediterranean essence and the wine history of Italy.
The three whiskeys were distilled on December 6, 2010 and aged for 10 years in traditional Scotch whiskey casks (mainly ex-bourbon and some ex-sherry). Subsequently, each spent two additional years in a different type of Italian wine barrel, obtaining completely different aromatic profiles. Finally, they were bottled in 2023, at 12 years of age, 46% vol. , without cold filtering and with its natural color, preserving all its aromatic richness.
Barolo Edition
The whiskey is transferred to selected barrels that housed Barolo DOCG red wine from Piedmont (made with Nebbiolo grapes). For 24 months, the wood provides elegant tannins, notes of dark red fruits and a very distinctive spicy structure.
Tasting notes
View:
Warm amber tone with delicate copper and pinkish reflections provided by red wine.
Nose:
Complex aromatic entry with notes of fresh blueberries, ripe raspberries and red apple, on a background of dried fruits and a subtle touch of spiced wine
Mouth:
On the palate it has good body and an enveloping texture. Clear flavors of dark chocolate, espresso cream, red plums and a light memory of honey with oak spices emerge. Long, dry and elegant finish. The soft tannins typical of the Nebbiolo grape stand out, leaving a persistent aftertaste of sweet spices, toasted oak and berries.
