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 is first matured in bourbon casks, where it develops its characteristic flavours, and then receives its finish in Pinot Noir casks, giving it added complexity and a refined note. This unique combination creates a harmonious and multi-layered flavour profile that will delight connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.
