Tomintoul Whisky

Tomintoul sits in the highest village in the Scottish Highlands, and the distillery, built in 1964, has taken that rugged setting and turned it into something surprisingly gentle. The whisky is often called 'the gentle dram' - a deliberate contrast to the heavy, smoky stereotypes many associate with Scotch. Under Angus Dundee, Tomintoul has become a quiet, reliable choice for those who prefer finesse over power.

  • Old Ballantruan 10 Year Old whisky bottle from Tomintoul
    Item no.: 22227865441-110

    Under the name Old Ballantruan hides Tomintoul's peated alter ego – a heavily smoked Speyside malt from a distillery otherwise known for the opposite.

    Expert Review

    Old Ballantruan 10 år Speyside Glenlivet Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50% is a Peated Single Speyside Malt Whisky matured in bourbon casks and bottled at 50% ABV.

    Tomintoul Distillery sits in the beautiful Cromdale Hills in the Speyside-Glenlivet region, near the source of the River Avon, and is known as one of Scotland's highest-altitude distilleries. While the core spirit is soft and light, the name Old Ballantruan is used for the distillery's peated expressions, where peated malt gives an entirely different, smoky character.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose offers peat and caramel, with a hint of oak and a light vanilla sweetness.

    Palate

    The palate is round and sweet with clear smoke, supported by caramel and a mild spiciness.

    Finish

    The finish is soft and medium-long, with lingering peaty smoke and a final hint of sweetness.

About Tomintoul Whisky

Tomintoul is a Highland distillery from 1964, located in the highest-altitude village in the Scottish Highlands. For a newcomer, it's a light, gentle, easy-drinking whisky, known as 'the gentle dram'; for the connoisseur, the appeal lies in the contrast - a distillery amid some of Scotland's harshest terrain that deliberately chose the softest, most approachable style rather than following the trend toward heavier, more extreme profiles.

History & Background

The distillery was founded in 1964-1965 by a consortium of whisky merchants with the aim of producing malt whisky for use in blends. It is today owned by Angus Dundee Distillers, which also owns the Glencadam distillery.

Production & Style

Tomintoul distils with a gentle, light expression in mind and uses water from the Ballantruan spring, contributing to the whisky's characteristically soft profile.

Signature Style

Gentle, Light, Fruity
The flavour offers a soft, easy-drinking character with notes of fruit and a hint of honey.
