Old Ballantruan

Old Ballantruan takes its name from the Ballantruan natural spring, nestled in the Cromdale Hills close to Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland.
Founded in Ballindalloch in 1965 by Hay & MacLeod and W&S Strong, Tomintoul distillery became part of blending house Whyte & Mackay in 1973 and acquired by Angus Dundee Distillers in 2000.
Old Ballantruan was introduced in 2005. It is distilled in the traditional manner of the Speyside Glenlivet region, but unusually for the region, it is made with heavily peated malted barley. When burnt it infuses the whiskey with heather and ancient mossy-grass giving Old Ballantruan its distinct smoky, log fire flavours.

Scottish Highlands

The Highlands region of Scotland is one of the largest and most diverse whisky-producing areas, known for its broad range of Scotch whiskies with distinctive and varied flavour profiles. Covering a vast expanse of rugged terrain, from mountainous landscapes to rolling hills, the Highlands benefits from a range of climates and natural resources that influence its whisky production.
Highland whiskies are renowned for their complexity and often feature a diverse array of characteristics, including rich and full-bodied profiles, peaty smokiness, and sweet, fruity notes. The area produces everything from heavily peated, robust whiskies to lighter, more delicate expressions with hints of honey, spice, and heather. Notable areas within the Highlands, such as Speyside and the Isle of Skye, contribute their own unique influences to the region's whisky offerings.
Historically, the Highlands have been a significant whisky-producing region since the 18th century, with a strong tradition of craftsmanship and innovation. Today, Highland whiskies continue to be celebrated for their quality and variety, reflecting the rich heritage and natural diversity of this storied region.
