The Tomintoul distillery was built back in 1964, and is located inside the piscturesque Glenlivet estate, within Speyside. The distillery is named after the nearby village of Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highland region of Scotland.
This dram has been matured for at least sixteen years in ex-Bourbon oak casks. The ingredients used are all fresh and pure and water is sourced from the nearby Ballantruan Spring. With cut grass and malted barley notes from nose to finish, this is a light and full-bodied malt.

Tomintoul
16 Year Old

Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Tomintoul is almost the highest distillery in Scotland, sitting at an elevation of roughly 1200'.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
