Frequently Asked Questions

How does Tomintoul 16 compare to Tomintoul 12 and 14?

The 12 and 14-year expressions are the younger and more accessible expressions of Tomintoul’s gentle Speyside character. The 16-year is the standard range’s fully developed expression — the additional years adding the creme brulee, mocha, and mellow shortbread complexity that Robert Fleming’s production philosophy develops over the extended maturation period.
