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. Down to Earth Dram 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. Due to its location within the Cairngorms Dark Sky Park, Tomintoul is an ideal place to while away long winter nights stargazing and dreaming. 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.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.

Flat lifeless malt followed by watery notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, butterscotch and chocoalte. It’s completely limp, lifeless, light and watery.

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.

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.

It barely tasted like anything, but what did register were notes of fruit, malt, a bit of cocoa and hay. It has the depth and potential but probably suffers most from the low abv. It misses a certain richness, body and mouthfeel. Tomintoul 10 year old single malt whisky was introduced to their core range in 2002. This happened two years after the distillery was bought by Angus Dundee. Tomintoul distillery can be found inside the beautiful Glenlivet estate, from the Speyside region.
