Tomintoul 44 Years Old 1966

A product of the 1960s whisky boom Tomintoul was founded by blenders looking for content before changing hands in 1973. Since then, it was firmly attached to the Whyte & Mackay brand, producing for their blends and unnamed single malts. Enduring the various owners until the distillery was purchased by the current owners, Angus Dundee Distillers, in 2000, who then set about launching a core range of single malts. Tomintoul has since occupied the more affordable realm of whisky and built up a core following with a wide range of age statements and debuted its peated whisky, Old Ballantruan, in 2000. Now the site acts as a major hub for Angus Dundee, with blending and single malts being catered as Tomtintoul offers more room than its sister distillery, Glencadam, for such activities.
