Tomintoul 10 Years Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch

Tomintoul, dubbed ‘the gentle dram’ is a scotch that embodies the true beauty of the lush,  rolling hills of the Scottish Highlands. The area surrounding Tomintoul Distillery is one of astounding natural beauty. This natural environment combined with the fresh mountain air of the Cairngorms, the soft, pure water from the Ballantruan spring and the tall and mighty stills of Tomintoul, all contribute to create an exceptionally smooth and well-balanced whisky, that has even been awarded the gold and double gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2024.

Tomatin 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch

The Tomatin 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch is a classically smooth scotch whisky with a little something different. Traditionally matured in a combination of Bourbon barrels and Sherry Casks, creating elegant and airy aromas of wild heather, pine and cedar on the nose. Furthermore, this ageing process delights the palate with smooth texture notes of crème caramel with apples, pears and mango that boasts an exquisite full-body buttery finish. Having earned a double gold medal two years in row at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco (2023 and 2024), this Scotch is world class.

Available to buy from Dan Murphy’s and BWS, RRP: $89.95.
