The description below is borrowed from Mac Y's website:
Decades II is truly a unique and exquisite expression, a marriage of 21 casks carefully selected from the past five decades.
Decades first came in 2011 to mark former Distillery Manager, Douglas Campbell's work at the distillery.
Decades II a tribute to everyone at Tomatin, both past and present. Decades II combines the best whiskey from Tomatin's history, with each decade contributing a new taste experience.
Graham Eunson, Distillery Operations Director at Tomatin said: “Balancing the flavor profiles of a couple of casks can be a real challenge, so to blend five decades of Tomatin whiskey in such a way that each cask complements the next is testament to a super team, both those who work at Tomatin today and those who have worked at Tomatin in the past. We have been the guardians of exceptional Scotch for generations, and that care really shows in Decades II.”
1970s - bourbon hogshead
1980s - first fill oloroso sherry butt
1990s - first fill bourbon
2000s - verdejo Wine barrel
2010s - second fill French oak barrels
The blend of ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry, wine and re-charred French oak from the last 50 years gives Decades II immense complexity.
