Built in 1964, Tomintoul Distillery is located inside the picturesque Glenlivet estate. The distillery is named after the nearby village of Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland. The venture has recently revamped its portfolio with a swathe of new expressions. Here’s one. Peat freaks should consider this new smokey Speysider, bottled at 50% abv and non-chill-filtered.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Gentle waft of “peat reek”, smoked campfires and subtle citrus fruit notes.
Taste: A mellow, dry peat with hints of lemon cheesecake, cocoa and shortbread.
Finish: Lingering smoke and peat with a light pepper kick.
