In the glen of the Avon at Kirkmichael, near the village of Tomintoul, Tomintoul was built in 1964 by two Glasgow whisky brokers and began bottling its own malt a decade later. Water from the Ballantruan spring makes a famously gentle spirit, light, fragrant and fruity, though a peated version runs too. In 2009 it filled the world's largest bottle of whisky, 105.3 litres. Angus Dundee's.
