Tomintoul Peaty Tang comes from the renowned Speyside Glenlivet region, an area known for its smooth and elegant single malts. Unlike most whiskies from this district, it is crafted using peated malted barley, giving it a rare and distinctive character. The traditional distillation process highlights both the region’s classic refinement and a bold smoky twist.
The whisky opens with an inviting aroma of gentle peat smoke, balanced by hints of honey, vanilla, and citrus. On the palate, warm notes of malted barley, heather, and spice blend seamlessly with layers of soft oak and a lingering smokiness. The finish is smooth yet lively, with a subtle sweetness that fades into a delicate wisp of peat.
Enjoyed neat, it reveals its full complexity and rich, smoky elegance. A few drops of water enhance the floral and fruity undertones, while serving it over ice mellows the peat for a softer, more approachable experience.
