Known as “The Gentle Dram,” Tomintoul usually whispers, not roars but Peaty Tang adds a smoky exhale to that soft Highland voice. Sourced from the peaty hills surrounding Glenlivet, this expression delivers an approachable touch of smoke while staying true to Tomintoul’s signature smoothness. It’s Highland whisky with a twist and a touch of fire.
