Although in 1987 Tomatin was referred to as the largest malt distillery in Scotland,[3] stills have been dismantled since the mid-1980s, bringing their total capacity to just over 5 million litres, though as of 2007, they were only producing 2.5 million litres.

After the liquidation of its owners in 1986, it was taken over by Japanese conglomerate Takara Shuzo and was renamed Tomatin Distillery Co Ltd.[2] The distillery, as of late, has been making an effort to bolster its name as a producer of single malts and is expanding its core range.

Recently, the distillery has begun to produce a lightly peated single malt called Cù Bòcan which is produced 1 week a year at the distillery.
