We are delighted to announce that Tomintoul Whisky has done exceptionally well in The Spirits Business- Scotch Whisky Masters 2020

Each year, just one “Taste Master” Award is given to the very best whisky in the whole competition, as judged by members of the expert panel. This year the honour of winning this award went to Tomintoul 25 Year Old, a beautifully rich and complex single malt whisky, which perfectly demonstrates the use of bourbon barrels too mature this unique Speyside whisky.

Gold Awards were also won for our 21 Year Old, 16 Year Old and the recently launched Seiridh.

On the 30^th of April 2020, Robert Fleming celebrates 30 years as Master Distiller at Tomintoul Distillery.

Over the years Robert’s experience, skill and boundless passion for whisky has shaped Tomintoul Single Malt, which is famously known around the world as “the gentle dram”.

We are thrilled to announce that Tomintoul 21 Year Old has won a Double Gold Award in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This sensational dram is floral and woody with layers of berry fruits and turkish delight.

A dram worth savouring. 

Tomintoul Distillery, are delighted to be the successful buyers of the world’s largest bottle of single malt scotch whisky.

The record breaking bottle of Tomintoul 14 Year Old was filled by the distillery team back in 2009 and at 1.5m tall it holds an impressive 105.3 litres of spirit, which is equivalent to 150 standard bottles of whisky.

The bottle was originally commissioned by two local businesses, in a bid to bring more tourism into the Tomintoul area, and the whisky was donated by the distillery, to support the local community. It was filled at Tomintoul Distillery, under the supervision of the Guinness World Records, and was then moved to the village of Tomintoul to be on display. It spent a brief period in Edinburgh at The Scotch Whisky Experience, before returning to the village in 2014, where it has been an important feature in the area ever since.  

Tomintoul Distillery Director, Robert Fleming, said “We are absolutely delighted to have this unique bottle of 14 Year Old back at the distillery, where our team filled it 10 years ago. As a world record holder it’s a unique part of whisky history and an important chapter for Tomintoul Distillery.”

In the next few weeks the bottle will be transported back to it’s original birthplace to take pride of place at the distillery, where it will soon be on show for visitors to see.
