Facts

Since Angus Dundee took over Tomintoul in 2000, the brand has leaned into its Gentle Dram nickname with quiet confidence. Copper pot stills work near Britain's highest village, deep in the Cairngorms National Park. Sherry wood adds caramel richness without bulldozing the gentle house style. Fresh apple and floral notes lead. Malty depth follows with cocoa and a peppery spice edge. Vanilla rounds things off on a warm, fresh fruit finish. Pour it neat and let the glass breathe. The flavours unfold slowly, like conversation after dinner.

About the distillery

Distillery

Tomintoul

Tomintoul is a distillery located in the Speyside region of Scotland. It was founded in 1964 and is known for producing single malt Scotch whisky. In 1974, Tomintoul became the first distillery in Scotland to be designed and built by a woman, architect Elisabeth Cummings. The distillery sources its water from the Ballantruan Spring, which is located in the hills surrounding Tomintoul village. The water is said to be soft and pure, making it ideal for the production of whisky. Tomintoul's stills are some of the tallest in Scotland, measuring at over 16 feet in height. This allows for a lighter and more delicate spirit to be produced. The distillery produces a range of whiskies, including the Tomintoul 10 Year Old, Tomintoul 16 Year Old, and Tomintoul Peaty Tang. The whiskies are aged in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks.

About the Tomintoul 14 years

Tomintoul 14 years is a single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside in Scotland. Tomintoul distillery sits in the Cairngorms National Park near the village that shares its name. This expression matured in a sherry butt, giving the Gentle Dram profile extra weight and colour. Production at Tomintoul began in 1965, when the distillery was built to meet rising demand for Speyside malt. Angus Dundee Distillers acquired the site in 2000 and invested in growing the brand worldwide. Master Distiller Robert Fleming, a fourth-generation Speyside distiller. Has guarded the light, fruity house style for more than thirty years. Soft water from the Ballantruan Spring feeds the stills and helps keep the spirit clean and approachable. Long fermentations encourage esters that translate into floral and fresh fruit notes in the new make. Sherry wood leaves its mark in the glass. Caramel and vanilla arrive first, wrapped around a malty core that feels rounded rather than sharp. Fresh apple and floral notes flicker through the mid-palate, while cocoa adds a warm, biscuity depth. A peppery spice edge and a touch of menthol freshness keep the finish from feeling too sweet. The result feels distinctly Speyside, yet richer than a typical bourbon-cask dram. Fans of Speyside single malt whisky often know Tomintoul for its easy-going character. Tomintoul 14 years leans into that reputation while the sherry butt adds a richer, fuller-bodied dimension. This bottling sits at 40% ABV, making it an accessible pour for relaxed evening drinking. If you enjoy layered sherry influence without overpowering oak, this is a strong candidate for your shelf. Pour Tomintoul 14 years neat and take your time. The fresh fruit, spice, and malty sweetness open gradually as the glass rests. It suits anyone curious about sherry-matured Scotch without stepping into heavy, fortified-wine territory.
