Tomintoul distillery is built in the highest village in the highlands of Scotland and can sometimes be very hard to access due to the road being blocked with snow and ice in the winter. However hard it is to get here the storage facilities at Tomintoul are huge and boast a warehouse that can accomodate ten million litres of malt within the grounds. The water source is the local Ballantruan Spring and with this water they produce about 3,000,000 litres of spirit annually. The current owners are Angus Dundee plc and the distillery has four stills to produce the spirit. This spirit is mainly used and a very valuable contribution to Whyte and MacKay’s blends.
You should expect a light bodied and smooth single malt, not very complex and great for after dinner. This single malt is an excellent whisky to start your whisky journey and enjoy for many decades later with vast choice of age statements any whisky enthusiast would want in their collection.
The Tomintoul Aged 18 Years is a single malt whisky that is matured in ex Bourbon American Oak casks for no less than 18 years. This stunning expression from Tomintoul is presented in a gift box with two engraved glasses. The gift pack celebrates the magnificent beauty of the Cairngorms National Park, where the distillery has been making whisky since 1965. The image on the pack is of Loch A’An, the source of the river A’An which flows past the distillery.
