If you’re a regular reader of this email, you know that we always try to feature a rare and hard to find whisky, or a whisky at a great price. This weeks feature is a wonderful whisky at a spectacular price: Tomintoul 16YO Speyside Single Malt Whisky.
In the middle of the last century it took more than a year to find the purest of water sources for use in the malt whisky making process. Finally, the search located the Ballantruan Spring, an exceptional source of the purest of waters nestling in the Cromdale Hills.
The quest over, Tomintoul Distillery was built close to the Ballantruan Spring and adjacent to the majestic River Avon, located near to the village of Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland on the prestigious Glenlivet Estate at the heart of the Speyside region. Tomintoul Distillery has been owned by Angus Dundee Distillers since 2000.
The natural environment, high altitude, pure air and the exclusive use of the outstanding quality of water from the Ballantruan Spring, combine to enhance the superb quality of Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet Single Malt.
Tomintoul single malt whisky is a testament to the whisky’s master distiller, Robert Fleming, whose family has been making whisky in the Speyside Glenlivet region for four generations.
Fortunately for us, our man Nicky The Neck grew up “summering in Speyside”, where he spent a considerable amount of time rafting down the Avon River.
And so we are able to offer you Tomintoul 16YO at the unheard of price of $49.95/ bottle. But act fast, we have a limited inventory at this price, and once it’s gone…
Until next week…I wish you high spirits!
