The Tomintoul 25yo is a single malt Scotch whisky from the renowned Speyside region of Scotland, distilled around 1990 when the distillery was still under the ownership of Whyte & Mackay. Acquired by Angus Dundee in 2000, Tomintoul has been marketed as 'The Gentle Dram', a nickname that perfectly captures its smooth and mellow character.
Introduced to the distillery's range in early 2015, this 25-year-old expression is a noteworthy addition to Tomintoul's portfolio. With a heritage dating back to 1964, Tomintoul Distillery is celebrated for producing whiskies that are laid-back and gentle, characteristics that have earned it the moniker 'The Gentle Dram'.
This expression was distilled around 1990 and spent over two decades maturing in former Bourbon casks, chosen for their floral and fruity characteristics. The distillers also aimed to infuse a touch of spice into the high-proof liquid. The result is a whisky that showcases creamy and sweet notes of toffee and butterscotch, complemented by hints of malted grains, grass, apples, and almonds. The promised spice is evident in the finish, although this whisky is renowned for its gentleness.
The Tomintoul Distillery, perched on a hilltop 268 meters above sea level, is one of the highest distilleries in Scotland. The nearby village of Tomintoul, established in the 1770s, was historically home to families involved in the whisky trade. The Speyside region, with around 50 distilleries, boasts the highest concentration of whisky distilleries in Scotland.
Tomintoul 25yo is unique due to its long aging process, spending over two decades in former Bourbon casks. This, combined with its gentle, smooth character, makes it a standout in the Speyside region.
