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.
Pure ingredients and the unspoilt nature of the Scottish Highlands give the award-winning Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet single malt Scotch whisky its soft and gentle character. The water from the Ballantruan spring, known for its exceptional purity, plays a crucial role in the production of this whisky. The Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet matures for 14 years in ex-bourbon casks made from American white oak, which gives it rich flavours.
