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 annually is exported to the United States for blends, Tomintoul continues to bring special single cask bottlings to the market.
Known for its smooth and approachable whiskies, the Tomintoul Amarone Cask Finish is first matured in classic American bourbon oak casks before being finished for a further two years in fine Amarone wine casks from Italy. This special post-maturing process gives it a harmonious balance in which fruity flavours meet gentle, warming spicy notes to create a multi-layered taste experience.
