In July 2021, we brought you the world’s first ever \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch whisky\u003c\/a\u003e matured in Verdejo casks from Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story began years ago, when in an absolute masterstroke, and a first for whisky, Tomatin Distillery sourced Verdejo white wine casks from Belondrade y Lurton wines in the Rueda region of Spain to mature their trademark delicate spirit. For centuries, Rueda has famously been growing Verdejo grapes and creating Verdejo wine - a crisp, bright white wine similar to a Sauvignon Blanc, but then along came Didier Belondrade of French Wine fame, who decided to put a twist on the classic Verdejo release. He created a Verdejo wine, but in a French style using 300L French Oak casks which mellow the crisp wine giving it a creamy, luscious mouthfeel and these casks then made their way to Tomatin, where they truly fulfilled their destiny! After a quick invigorating light char they were filled with Tomatin spirit and the rest is Scotch whisky history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA few lucky Scots were teased with small single cask releases 2020, but the bulk of the whisky was earmarked to create a world-first exclusive just for us, Australia’s biggest community of whisky lovers, weren’t we lucky!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis superb, world-first Tomatin perfectly melds the orchard fruits, creamy texture and light spices of both the Verdejo casks and Tomatin’s unique Highland spirit into a truly special single malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet set for waves of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGolden Delicious apples\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecandied citrus \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eprofiteroles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e on the nose, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epeaches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e panna cotta \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eon the palate and a rolling vibrant finish of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003echocolate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e blackberry jam\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003elight spiced oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrders for Tomatin 2009 Verdejo Cask have now closed. \u003ca href=\"#\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSign Up Free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e to Australia's biggest whisky community now to get incredible single malt whiskies delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tomatin Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46489940885583,"sku":"WC0207","price":135.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/1185\/7487\/files\/tomatin2009verdejo_pdp_main4.png?v=1787701181","url":"https:\/\/thewhiskyclub.com.au\/products\/tomatin-2009-verdejo-cask","provider":"The Whisky Club AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
