Prior to the opening of the formal distillery which operates today, there is reason to believe that illegal whisky production was an important part of life in the area around Tomatin since the 1700s. In 1892, it was announced that the final route of the Highland Railway would pass through the town. Local man John MacDougall opened ‘The Tomatin Spey District Distillery’: registered on 8th June 1897. After passing through several owners, the distillery is now in the hands of Takara Shuzo and Okura & Co. who rescued the distillery from closure in 1986, and formed the Tomatin Distillery Co. Ltd. In 2013, Tomatin expanded its portfolio in launching their lightly peated expression, Cù Bòcan, as a fully fledged brand. They celebrated their 125th anniversary in 2022.
