Tomintoul Distillery is located near the village of Tomintoul, which is the highest village in the Scottish Highlands. Situated within the Glenlivet estate in the Speyside region, and in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Established in 1964 by Hay & Macleod and W. & S. Strong, today the distillery is owned by Angus Dundee Distillers, which acquired it in 2000.
The area surrounding the distillery is one of astounding natural beauty. This natural environment combined with the fresh mountain air of the Cairngorms, the soft, pure water from the Ballantruan spring and the tall and mighty stills of Tomintoul, all contribute to creating this exceptionally smooth and well-balanced whisky.
Master Distiller, Robert Fleming, who is a fourth generation Speyside distiller, has been the custodian of Tomintoul for more than 30 years. Robert and his team handcraft every drop of Tomintoul Single Malt, using traditional production techniques that stretch back hundreds of years.
Bottled at 46% ABV, Tomintoul 14 years old actively retains the whisky's unique and natural characteristics, preserving the subtlety of taste. Avoiding chill-filtering in this expression actively preserves the aromatic components in the whisky, enhancing impact and flavor.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Sweet and inviting with aromas of sugared almonds, orchard fruits and crème brûlée. Hints of lemon curd and candied peels.
Palate - Madagascan vanilla pod and roasted almonds mixed with Danish pastries, oat biscuits, citrus and baking spices.
Finish - Warming and toasty with layers of hazelnuts, mocha, vanilla sponge cake and ginger biscuits.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
