The staff were stunned when they sampled this 26 year old Tormore, so we took everything the importer had left... Distilled in 1992 it matured in a Refill Hogshead cask (HL16492), and was bottled at 47.3%.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: soft, doughy and fruity with honey and gentle oak; grilled pineapple, canteloupe and apricots; candied apple and butter tarts.
Palate: round, rich and fruity with a silky oak backbone; clotted cream, French vanilla and white chocolate; more grilled pineapple, dried apricots and canteloupe; decadent spices and juicy malt; a touch of butter tarts.
Finish: silky, buttery, honeyed and very fruity; more tropical fruits.
Comment: Tormore is very hit or miss for me, I either love it, or I don't... I love this one; full credit to Curt who identified this gem of a whisky!
