Tomintoul 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

It was the Duke of Gordon who commissioned the village, he planned and built it along a military road, it has wide roads, stone-built buildings, and two listed (historically protected) churches. Time it right and you could experience a 200-years-old tradition: the Tomintoul Highland Games. Every third Saturday in July, the villagers (and guests) gather for a day of Scottish festivities. Dress appropriately – visitors are encouraged to join in the fun events.

I’ve had some truly astounding Tomintoul, so I know the potential it has, but the Tomintoul 10 is unfortunately nowhere near that level. It doesn’t even hint at a possibility of that level and that’s… that’s really disappointing. Tomintoul is extraordinary in so many ways, including the quantity and variety of accommodations available.

Tomintoul is not only popular during the summer months but year-round. The Lecht Ski Centre attracts skiers and snowboarders while the ice-covered gorges attract winter climbers.

Flat lifeless malt followed by watery notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, butterscotch and chocoalte. It’s completely limp, lifeless, light and watery. The area around Tomintoul has both treeless moors and lush forests. It’s also diverse in the activities and adventures available across the local countryside.Nose: Fairly refined with notes of aniseed, furniture polish and caramel-glazed apples, as well as a touch of licorice root and marzipan. Whisper of vanilla cream too. Finally a sprinkle of cinnamon and apfelstrudel. Tomintoul 10 is a flat, light and lifeless whisky and calling it “The Gentle Dram” is an understatement. It comes across like someone mixed a regular 40% whisky 40/60 with water. It’s easily one of the most boring whiskies I’ve ever had. It might sounds like I’m angry at this whisky, but I’ not. I’m disappointed.

Tomintoul is part of the large, Crown-owned Glenlivet Estate. The estate is responsibly managed and well maintained. They advocate the outdoors and a healthy lifestyle. They even have a dedicated mountain bike centre at Glenlivet Bike Trails. The Tomintoul-Glenlivet Distillery produces whiskies which are famous for being gentle. That’s why you might know this distillery as The Gentle Dram. After tasting this 10 year old, and their 16 year old, I couldn’t agree more with their tag line. Both, the 10 and 16 year old single malts have been matured in American Oak Ex-Bourbon casks.

It has the depth and potential but probably suffers most from the low abv. It misses a certain richness, body and mouthfeel. There are also various self-catered options, from small cottages to houses and steadings. The Old Pine Yurt is a more unique way that allows you to connect with nature. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Due to its location within the Cairngorms Dark Sky Park, Tomintoul is an ideal place to while away long winter nights stargazing and dreaming.

No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. If my timing had been a little better I’d already have a distillery visit of Tomintoul under my belt. But during a brief business trip in 2018 I wasn’t able to pin down a date with their production manager, Graeme Bowie. After now having spent some virtual time with their Global Brand Ambassador and Master Blender Iain Forteath, I really hope to be able to drop by sometime soon (pandemic permitting of course). The village of Tomintoul is in a fantastic location as well. As for a bonus, The Whisky Castle in Tomintoul is a proper whisky specialist. Located on the northern edge of the Cairngorms National Park, Tomintoul is the highest village in Highlands. At 345 metres above sea level, it features spectacular landscapes, rugged mountains and, in the winter, regular snow. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. You might’ve wondered already, but the whisky is chill-filtered, caramel-coloured and bottled at just 40%. Not exactly the stuff of dreams for the average whisky nerd. Then again, there’s a whole world of casual whisky drinkers out there for who Tomintoul is absolutely perfect. And to be totally honest, even at such a disadvantage Tomintoul’s single malt is rather pleasant. But you can just taste there’s potential for much more, also evidenced by a single cask release I reviewed last year. I’m not convinced Tomintoul will soon shift their approach and start catering to geeks, but if they ever decide to, I’m confident they’ll succeed.

The Duke built the village hoping to discourage cattle theft and illegal distilling in the area. Unlike Fochabers, (another village the Duke built), Tomintoul was forgotten and neglected.
