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.
A bottling exclusively matured in hand selected American oak ex-bourbon barrels. Tomintoul 10 Years Old is a delicate well-balanced single malt with honey and citrus combing to create a sweet, fruity and vanilla flavour profile. A fan favourite in the Tomintoul range.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Delicate and floral with aromas of acacia honey, vanilla, wholemeal toast and mellow wood spices.
Palate - Sweet and honeyed with layers of creme caramel and toasted almond with highlights of lemon zest and a grassy freshness.
Finish - A surge of sweetness swiftly pursued by a tingling spice.

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
