Tomatin Distillery, nestled in the Scottish Highlands near Inverness, boasts a long and storied history since its establishment in 1897. It faced a series of operational challenges and changes, including a closure and subsequent reopening in the early 20th century, and major expansions during the 1950s and 1970s.
