Die Speyside-Brennerei Tomintoul stellt in ihrer heutigen englischsprachigen Presseaussendung (sie finden diese im Anschluss an unsere Einleitung) ihre neue Reihe für den globen Reise-Einzelhandel vor. Die drei Single Malt Whiskys erscheinen mit einer verbaucherfreundlichen Preisempfehlung und sollen so einen leichten und günstigen Einstieg in die Singel Malts der Destillerie ermöglichen. Die drei Abfüllungen Tundra (UVP £40 / etwas mehr als 45 €), Tarn (UVP £45 / etwas mehr als 50 €) und Tor (UVP £55 / etwas mehr als 60 €) sollen auch die Vielseitigkeit der Brennerei zeigen: Tundra reifte vollständig in Ex-Bourbon-Casks, Tarn wurde aus getorftem Gerste-Malz destilliert, und Tor wurde in Oloroso Sherry butts gefinisht. Die Malts dieses Trios kamen mit 40 % Vol. in die 1-Liter-Flaschen. Auf der Umverpackung sind stilisierte Illustrationen der Cairngorms dargestellt und eine Hommage an die malerische Region.

Media alert: Tomintoul Distillery introduces exclusive travel range inspired by the Cairngorms
Tomintoul Single Malt Scotch Whisky has released an exclusive Global Travel Retail (GTR) range, inspired by the distillery’s breathtaking natural environment.
The GTR range, made up of three expressions – Tundra (RRP £40), Tarn (RRP £45) and Tor (RRP £55) – will offer the travel trade an introduction to the Speyside brand at an accessible price point.
Each with an individual identity and maturation profile, the collection showcases the versatility of Tomintoul’s malt, which is handcrafted in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. The bespoke packaging also pays homage to the scenic region with stylised illustrations depicting areas within the Cairngorms:
o TUNDRA BOURBON CASK: An elegant, balanced and creamy single malt matured entirely in American oak bourbon barrels. The freezing conditions of winter in the Cairngorms results in one of the few places out with the Arctic where areas of tundra exist.
The artwork portrays the Cairngorms Plateau, looking toward Sgor Gaoith, in the Cairngorms National Park
o TARN PEATED: An intense smoky, sweet and earthy single malt distilled from peated malted barley. Tomintoul Tarn takes its name from the old Norse word “tjorn” meaning pond. Many tarns can be found in the Cairngorms, some of which are surrounded by ancient peat.
The artwork portrays the Ben Avon Summit, in the Cairngorms National Park
o TOR OLOROSO SHERRY CASK: A rich and full flavoured single malt finished exclusively in Oloroso Sherry butts from Andalucía, Spain. In the Cairngorms granite rock tors are an impressive feature of the landscape. “Torr” in Scottish Gaelic simply means a free-standing rocky outcrop at the summit of a hill or mountain.
