Description

Enter Tomintoul – the gentle dram. A whisky which you both see everywhere and yet is still somehow under the radar. A whisky which to my mind owes much of its composition to the distillery's history (and current) requirements for blending – and as such struggles to shine in our modern world. Full disclosure: The whiskies featured in this article were sent to me free of charge. As always, I will strive to give an honest opinion on the quality of the drams and the value for money they represent.

Ash, Russell (1973). Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain. Reader's Digest Association Limited. p.466. ISBN 9780340165973. Thoughts: I was pleasantly surprised. In the past I’ve found Tomintoul to be a little lightweight and inoffensive. However, whilst this certainly isn’t the most robust dram I’ve ever come across, it’s more fully flavoured than I was anticipating. Maybe not the most complex but a nice, straight-forward single malt that’s perfectly poised between spirit and oak. Tomintoul Golf Club (now defunct) was founded in 1897. The club and course disappeared at the time of World War II. [6] History [ edit ]Thoughts: This does feel like a step-up from the 16-year-old although they are very much cut from the same cloth. The 21-year-old has that little bit of depth that only comes from a lengthy period in oak. There’s a tannic note that runs through the whole experience. The nose in particular is pleasantly complex though the palate can’t quite live up to its promise. Water opened things up a little but some weight and mouthfeel was lost as a result. A pleasant if somewhat predictable example of a mature Speyside. In the Victorian era, the village was receiving some tourism; in 1860, there were three inns here. [11] An 1857 Commercial Gazetteer described the community as a mean-looking village on a bleak moor with superstitious residents. [12] The 1882–4 Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer for Scotland also did not depict Tomintoul as a prosperous village: [13]
