A little known distillery with a lovely floral spirit character that has been much loved int he occasional independent bottlings in the past (particualrly from Adelphi).
Pronounced: Tom-in-towel.
Built: 1964.
Current Owner: Angus Dundee Ltd.
Production Capacity: 3,000,000 litres.
House style: A delicate, grassy perfumed whisky with a good reputation.
Tomintoul distillery was built in 1960 by W & S Strong and Hay & Macleod, two whisky broking firms from Glasgow.
Angus Dundee recently bought the distillery from Whyte and Mackay, and have impressed us with their early bottlings and fair pricing of some fine malt whiskies.
Great nose with honey, toffee, rich spice and a whole range of citrus characters. Lots of berry fruits and bakery notes. Super smooth in the mouth with tremendous oak backing. Beautiful balance of all components. This bottling has finesse, fruit and floral character, with a balance of vanilla and sherry character
