Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re looking for the perfect gift for dad, whisky is always a top contender. For those dads who prefer a gentler drop, Tomintoul 10 Year Old is a standout choice this year.
Known as ‘the gentle dram,’ Tomintoul is a scotch that captures the serene beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The area around Tomintoul Distillery is truly breathtaking, with its rolling hills and fresh mountain air. The pure water from the Ballantruan spring and the distillery’s impressive stills all come together to create a whisky that’s exceptionally smooth and well-balanced.
Established in 1965, Tomintoul Distillery has become renowned for producing award-winning single malt that embodies the purity and natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands, using traditional production techniques that stretch back hundreds of years, to handcraft a wide range of award-winning Tomintoul Single Malt Scotch Whiskies.
This scotch presents a delicate and floral bouquet on the nose, with inviting aromas of acacia honey, vanilla, wholemeal toast, and gentle wood spices. On the palate, it offers a sweet and honeyed experience, revealing layers of crème caramel and toasted almond, accentuated by refreshing hints of lemon zest and grassy notes. The finish is smooth with buttery oak and citrus peels gradually fading into a mellow spice reminiscent of warm cake.
In 2024 so far, Tomintoul has earned multiple awards including the Boisdale Life Whisky Producer the Year Award, gold at the International Wine & Spirits Competition, two gold medals at the Scotch Whisky Masters, double gold and gold medals at the International Spirits Challenge and won gold at the world-renowned San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Tomintoul 10 Year Old is available to purchase for $76.99 from Dan Murphy’s.
