About The Whisky Trail
"The Whisky Trail is a collection of young and old casks, taking drinkers off the beaten path of whisky. Only whiskies that demonstrate the most exceptional characteristics are hand-selected to be bottled as part of the Whisky Trail range, and with each cask as unique as a fingerprint, no two expressions will ever be the same. To ensure each whisky maintains its full flavour and cask character, we never chill-filter or add colour."
700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: dark, creamy, and decadent with tart berry fruits; Manuka honey, chocolate Turtles, and caramel almond clusters; wine gums, Saskatoon pie and blackberry jam; fruit by the foot and dried apple chunks.
Palate: big, rich, and spicy with loads of sweets; dark chocolate almond and coconut clusters, more milk chocolate Turtles; fresh cooling mint and a twinge of iron; candied fennel, cinnamon hearts, and licorice goodies; both wine gums and jujubes, as well as the Saskatoons and blackberry; beer nuts, roasted almonds, and maple walnuts; really toasty with firm oak spice.
Finish: warming, spicy, and nutty with lots of toasted oak and sweet chocolate treats.
Comment: this must have been first-fill because it is rocking and rollin'... fruity, spicy, and chocolaty, with just a hint of that hint of iron note I get in many a young Blair Athol; this is a single malt for Bourbon fans!
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Sweet toasted oak with blackcurrant and honey coming through. Lovely warm spice develops with time in the glass.
Palate: Crunchy Nut Cornflakes at first with a lovely blossom honey water note and ripe blueberries coming through. Almost chewy in texture.
Finish: Dried mint and raspberry leaf tea with lingering tannins."

This 14 year old Tormore was offered to us by our friends at Elixir Distillers, who purchased the distillery in 2022. While there aren't currently any official distillery bottlings, this cask was part of the distillery purchase, and is technically a Tormore Distillery cask, bottled by the distillery owner. Bottled under the Single Malts of Scotland label, the whisky was filled into a fresh ex-Bourbon Barrel in 2010, and bottled in late 2024 at 55.7%. Only 216 total bottles!

We ourselves some Dailuaine here at KWM. It's waxy and fruity profile seems to be showcased incredibly well in ex-Bourbon casks, which is why we jumped at the chance to have this as an exclusive. Distilled in 2009, this single cask spent 13 years maturing in a Hogshead (#315772) before being bottled at 52.9%. We only managed to get a fraction of the outturn, which was a miniscule 100 bottles!
