Tomatin 1988 Batch 3 is an ultra-rare Highland single malt that embodies the quiet strength of nearly three decades of aging. Distilled in 1988 and matured for 27 years in a combination of ex-Bourbon and first-fill Tawny Port casks, this third release from the Warehouse 6 Collection delivers exquisite balance, richness, and elegance. Presented in a handmade crystal decanter with two bespoke glasses inside a luxurious case, it’s as much a statement piece as it is a world-class whisky.

Expect refined complexity in every sip—ripe red berries and dried fruits from the port influence, layered with vanilla cream, toasted nuts, and polished oak. At 50.8% ABV and bottled at natural cask strength, it retains incredible smoothness despite its power. Whether you’re marking a milestone, expanding a rare collection, or seeking a whisky with lasting depth, this release captures the spirit of timeless Highland craftsmanship at its peak.
