Tomintoul distillery is built in the highest village in the highlands of Scotland and can sometimes be very hard to access due to the road being blocked with snow and ice in the winter. However hard it is to get here the storage facilities at Tomintoul are huge and boast a warehouse that can accomodate ten million litres of malt within the grounds. The water source is the local Ballantruan Spring and with this water they produce about 3,000,000 litres of spirit annually. The current owners are Angus Dundee plc and the distillery has four stills to produce the spirit. This spirit is mainly used and a very valuable contribution to Whyte and MacKay’s blends.

This single cask whisky was distilled in 1995 at the Tomintoul Distillery. It was placed in an ex-bourbon cask and left to mature for 22 years. In August 2017 it was bottled at 51.5% abv by the Rest & Be Thankful Whisky Co.

Only 291 bottles were produced for worldwide distribution.
