About Tomatin
“Tomatin distillery is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery in the village of Tomatin. Its whisky is classified as being from the Highland region, as it is 25 minutes south of Inverness.”From Wikipedia, CC BY-SA
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading 11.403 means cask 403 from distillery 11. That distillery is Tomatin, in Highland. More on Tomatin at Wikipedia.
