With two single malt distilleries: Tomintoul Distillery located near to the village of Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland and in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, and the other Glencadam Distillery located in the ancient city of Brechin, in the Eastern Highlands of Scotland, benefit from their proximity to waters of millions of years old spring: The Ballantruan Spring-an exceptionally pure and natural water source, contributing to the flavor, character, and quality of their whiskies.

Glencadam
Distillery

Glencadam Distillery opened in 1825, just one year after distilling on a large scale was legalised. Since then, little has changed and our award-winning Single Scotch Malt Whisky is still produced in the same fashion as it was in 1825.

Glencadam Distillery is located about half a mile outside the ancient city of Brechin, in the eastern Highlands of Scotland. It relies on the purest spring water from the Unthank Hills to create its elegant and refined spirit.

It operates two pot stills at Glencadam since it began and the lye pipes on the stills run upwards at an angle of 15 degrees, which is most unusual. This helps to produce a mellow character, which after maturation yields sweet, fruity and aromatic notes.

All the age statement whiskies are bottled at 46%, unchill filtered and are free from added colouring, just as it was meant to be. The whisky's natural characteristics are retained and the aromatic components are preserved to enhance presence and flavour here at Glencadam.

Tomintoul
Distillery

Nestled in the beautiful Cromdale Hills in the Speyside Glenlivet region close to the source of the River Avon, lies Tomintoul Distillery. As one of the highest distilleries in the Scottish Highlands, the pure clear waters and clean Highland air contribute to our uniquely smooth, fruity spirit.

Built-in 1964 our distillery uses traditional techniques that stretch back hundreds of years, to make our award-winning single malt, "the gentle dram".

In Scottish Gaelic Tomintoul literally means "hill of the barn" and the correct way to pronounce it is "Tom-in-Towel"
