Tomintoul Tarn
Tomintoul Tarn is a unique single malt whisky, crafted in the heart of the Cairngorms. This exquisite whisky draws its name from ancient mountain lochs, known as tarns, formed over 10,000 years ago due to glacial movements. The word “tarn” originates from the old Norse term “tjorn,” meaning pond. These spring water lochs have been surrounded by ancient peat for millennia, influencing the intense character of Tomintoul Tarn.
