Tomintoul 10 years Speyside Glenlivet Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Tomintoul 10 Years Old is a true representative of the classic Speyside style – but with its own finesse. The whisky is known as “the gentle dram”, and that name is well deserved: this is a single malt that prioritizes balance, elegance and accessible complexity.

At first sniff, you are greeted by a delicate, floral nose with fine notes of acacia honey, fresh vanilla and creamy toffee. There is a layer of citrus – like freshly peeled lemon peel – and a hint of freshly baked cookies in the background. It is a scent that invites contemplation without being heavy.

The palate is silky and harmonious. It opens sweetly with honey and soft caramel, gradually slipping into nutty undertones and mild fruit sweetness – such as pear, apple and a hint of dried apricots. There is a fresh, herbal note beneath the surface, which provides balance and lightness without becoming green or bitter.

The aftertaste is clean and elegant with fine notes of vanilla, oak and a spicy touch. It disappears slowly – not in a bang, but in a calm, warm wave.
