Your Premium Italian food & beverage for travel retail Italian Excellence. Global Experience. Every spark, unique. As only Venice can be. TRAVEL EXCLUSIVE BLUE VILLAGE STAND F3 F or The Tomatin Distillery, TFWA World Exhibition & Conference is a valuable chance to spend time with existing travel retail partners, review what has been achieved together and start shaping plans for 2027. “It is equally important as a place to meet new operators and explore opportunities to expand Tomatin’s distribution across the channel,” says Danny Whelan, Global Marketing Manager, The Tomatin Distillery. “We are well established in travel retail, but we still see plenty of room to grow. This year, we will also be giving selected partners an early preview of our 2027 pipeline, demonstrating our continued investment in the channel and the strength of what is coming next. We are particularly keen to build on the momentum behind our 13 Year Old, which has enjoyed a very successful first year.” The Tomatin Double Cask 13 Year Old – the newest addition to the Travellers’ Exclusives collection – builds on the success of the flagship 12 Year Old in domestic markets and replaces the one-litre 12 Year Old previously available in the channel. “It’s joined a diverse range, extending from the accessible 8 Year Old through to the more cask- led 16 and 21 Year Old expressions. “At the top of the collection is our exceptionally rare 45 Year Old, with only 250 individually numbered bottles released worldwide,” Whelan explains. He adds that, for The Tomatin Distillery, exclusivity is important but it needs to be meaningful. “It still has to offer excellent liquid quality, a clear point of difference and genuine value,” Whelan shares. “That principle sits behind our entire Travel Exclusive range. The Tomatin Distillery builds momentum with travel-exclusive whiskies The intention is to give travellers access to whiskies they will not find in domestic markets, while offering a genuine progression through different ages, cask influences and price points. Our Single Cask Programme takes that idea even further, enabling individual operators and airports to offer a completely bespoke Tomatin release that cannot be purchased anywhere else.” HarbourVillage EVA Tuesday 29 September 2026 51 T F W A D A I L Y
