TASTING NOTES

About Tomintoul

Established in 1965, Tomintoul Distillery is located near to the village of Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland and in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park.

Situated on the banks of the Spey’s main tributary, the Avon (pronounced A’an), and taking its name from Scotland’s highest village nearby, Tomintoul is another 1960s distillery whose make has only recently been more widely seen as single malt.

The distillery was built in 1965 by a pair of whisky-broking firms, Hay & MacLeod and W. & S. Strong, before being folded into the Whyte & Mackay stable in 1973. It remained part of the blending firm until 2000 when it was purchased by Angus Dundee where it performs dual functions as provider of mature spirit for contract blends and under its own guise.

The entire cask roster was re-racked into 1st Fill Casks after being purchased from Whyte and Mackay significantly upping the quality of whisky that is expected as standard. Tomintoul choose not to market their whiskies as they believe that if people like them, then they will tell others about it.
