This single cask bottling of a 10-year-old Tomintoul was produced by the independent bottler HEB Heinz Eggert Spiritousenmanufaktur. The whisky was distilled in 2006 and was bottled at cask strength in 2017.
Tomintoul is a distillery near Ballindalloch, Moray, Scotland, which was founded in 1964. It was sold to White & Mackay in 1973 and then to Angus Dundee Distillers in 2000.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
