Tomatin Distillery has released two "exceptional" limited edition single cask bottlings, with designs created by Breeze Creative.

Matured in a refill Bourbon cask, the 36 Year Old 1973 will be available worldwide but the majority of the 184 bottles the cask yielded will be sold in Western Europe retailing at £450.

From an Oloroso sherry puncheon, the 1982 expression is limited to 560 bottles and will be offered to distributors around the world.

Designed by Craig Mackinlay of Breeze Creative, who developed the Tomatin core range of 12, 15 and 18 year whiskies, each of the new releases is presented in an ultra heavy weight glass bottle, sealed with a coated glass stopper and finished off with a neck tag. The wooden boxes, manufactured by Mount Gabriel, have a luxurious velvet lining.

Mackinlay commented: "It is encouraging in the current economic climate that people across the globe are still so enthused and interested in Scotch whisky and are prepared to invest in bottlings that offer a new sensorial experience."
