Top distillery teams up with Scotland’s top championship golf courses

Tomatin Whisky has matched its best single malts with each of the courses hosting this year’s £50k top prize Highland Golf Links Pro Am, which gets underway with 75 teams today.

A top distillery behind the reigning best dram in the world has paired whiskies with three of Scotland’s top championship golf courses.

Tomatin Whisky has matched its best single malts with each of the courses hosting this year’s £50k top prize Highland Golf Links Pro Am, which gets underway with 75 teams today.

Royal Dornoch - judged to be second best course in the world - Cabot Highlands and Nairn courses have all been paired up with a different whisky.

Jeremy Matte, Head of Golf and Operations at Cabot Highlands and lead for the HGL Pro Am event said: “There’s simply no other part of Scotland that offers a flavour of views and quality of golf in the way we can, so the chance to also match that unique experience with the best whiskies in the world with Tomatin was such a wonderful opportunity.

“All our clubhouses are already very well acquainted with Tomatin given its popularity among our members and its status as the world’s best dram, so their ongoing support and sponsorship for the Pro Am has been a real source of pride for us.

“But this progression and level of detail and consideration is something that really has been a stroke of genius, is unique to our collective, and a proper focus of curiosity for players, members and visitors alike to try.”

Tomatin have paired Royal Dornoch with their Tomatin 18 Year Old - with both the course and the whisky described as complex, elegant and “delightful”.

Cabot Highlands is paired with Tomatin Legacy, described as youthful, bright, fresh and very approachable.

Nairn is twinned with Tomatin’s Cask Strength, with the course and the dram described as muscular and very intense.
