Description
It is considered one of the smoothest whiskies in Speyside: Tomintoul is equally popular with beginners and as a relaxed after-work dram. The single malt from the picturesque Cairngorms National Park has been produced using traditional methods since the distillery was founded in 1964. Robert Fleming has been in charge of Tomintoul's four tall, high-return pot stills for over 20 years. As a fourth-generation master distiller, the distiller has played a key role in shaping the extremely soft, malty-floral Tomintoul character - and creating accessible "gentle drams" that are both award-winning and inexpensive.He succeeds in underlining the smoothness of his whiskies with fruity cask finishes.
