Distillery profile:
The Tomintoul distillery has always been focused
on producing malt whisky for various blends, but
in recent years it has become more widely available
as a single malt - both as official and independent
bottlings. Based on my own impressions, the quality
of the whisky that's produced at Tomintoul is
a few notches above that of most other malt whiskies
aimed at blenders. The distillery is located in
the 'Strath Avon', the valley of the river Avon.
Like the eskimo's have many different words for
snow, the Scots apparently have many words for
valley - and they usually use .... More
on Malt Madness. |

In
our opinion: Tomintoul can be
wonderfully fruity (guavas, papayas) and may, when
old, remind you of both old Tomatins and some Bushmills.
