Scotch whisky distiller Tomatin has unveiled a series of limited-edition single malts.
The range, called Five Virtues, features five ‘distinguished’ single malt whiskies. Each one is inspired by one of nature’s elements – wood, fire, earth, metal and water – and is packaged in cartons with designs from contemporary Scottish artist Eva Ullrich.
Each malt has a limited run of 6,000 bottles and has been crafted with an element in mind, including the use of heavily charred oak, bourbon barrels and – uniquely for Highland-based Tomatin – peated malt.
Tomatin marketing manager Jennifer Masson said: “As our brand grows we are increasingly inspired by global concepts and the Five Virtues series was born out of this inspiration. We wanted to release a creative limited-edition series focussing on the effects of different cask maturations, while linking it to a wider concept.
“That is something that we have achieved with Five Virtues and we are incredibly proud to be launching the series onto the market this month.”
And Eva Ullrich, who designed the boxes for the whisky, added: “Having spent many years in Scotland and enjoying a nip of whisky myself meant this project was a pleasure to work on. I’m really excited to see my work on a medium that is more accessible to the public and for it to be appreciated by people who perhaps wouldn’t usually engage with abstract painting.”
The wood and fire expressions are available now with retail prices starting at £49.99, while the three further whiskies will be released later in the year.
