Description
The Tomintoul distillery, located in the Scottish Highland Park in the Cairngorms National Park and named after the nearby village of Tomintoul, opened its doors in 1964 and is now owned by Angus Dundee Distillers.
At 370 metres above sea level, Tomintoul is the second highest distillery in Scotland, surpassed only by Braeval Distillery, which was founded in 1973. Although the majority of the 3.2 million litres of alcohol produced each year is exported to the United States for blends, Tomintoul continues to bring special single cask bottlings to the market.
Tomintoul’s Small Batch Cask Finish series is a remarkable no-age-statement series, characterised by its unique finish in a variety of casks. This whisky first matures in bourbon casks, where it develops its basic flavours. It is then given a special finish in Ximénez sherry casks, which give it additional depth and an unmistakable sweetness. This combination creates a complex and harmonious flavour profile that delights connoisseurs and aficionados alike.
