This 15 year old Tormore is one of the first-ever official single cask bottlings from the distillery. Distilled in 2009, the whisky was bottled at 47.4% from a single first fill ex-Bourbon cask. Exclusive to KWM!
Producer Description
‘Legacy’ single cask series is a celebration of Tormore’s past and the people that have made it. Polly Logan, Tormore Distillery manager, has hand-picked a selection of the distillery’s vintage casks, all matured in ex-bourbon barrels where the wood profile perfectly complements Tormore’s intrinsic, fruity and elegant character. Single casks have been previously available in rare, small batches from independent bottlers -but ‘Legacy’ is the first official distillery single cask release under the Elixir Distillers stewardship."
700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: nutty, decadent, and creamy with tangy fruits; lemon, dried apricot, and peaches 'n cream to start; banana split, seared lemon meringue pie and baked Alaska to keep things rolling; floral and malty with toasted oak.
Palate: still nutty, decadent, and creamy with tangy fruits; flat PC Cola and more sweet treats: peaches 'n cream, banana split, lemon meringue pie, and baked Alaska; sour plums, grapefruit, and orange oil; a touch of malt, subtle oak spice, and oatmeal cookies.
Finish: long, coating, and malty; flourishes of fruit, ice cream-based desserts, and delicate spice.
Comment: this is a step-up in terms of both maturity and depth from the 2012; this is a lovely malt, that seems to get better with every sip.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Fresh baked biscuits, ripe peaches, citrus & fresh meadow hay.
Palate: Lively lemon tart, cracked black pepper, spice & vanilla custard.
