Tormore 14 Year
$44.99
The price seems to good to be true, regardless it will not last long. The whisky has been apparently discontinued, and we have only just found out about it... You don't see many 14 year old whiskies for $50. Matured in American oak and bottled at 43%.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: malty and nutty, dried cranberries and cherries, a touch of latex and new leather; marcona almonds, French eau de vie and fresh laundry.
Palate: still malty, creamy and very nutty; firm new leather, more marcona almonds, dried cherries and craberries; soft vanilla, floral tones and candied orange; oily with a touch of Black Licorice Nibbs.
Finish: medium length; oily, malty and medium long with oranage, spices, vanilla and licorice.
Comment: this isn't a mind blowing malt, but it is insanely good value... a 14 year old distillery bottled single malt!

Producer's Description
"Tormore 14 Year Old is a light, fruity single malt with a smooth character. The smoothness derives from the purity of the water that is used during distillation. The nose is sweet with a hint of spice, followed by creamy toffee and vanilla undertones on the palate, which ultimately gives way to a long and subtle peppery finish.
"Tormore 14 Year Old is produced in limited quantities from a few carefully selected American Oak casks and it perfectly showcases the signature style of Tormore Distillery Single Malt Whisky."

ESSENCE OF BFG
This 15 year old Speysider is 60.4% after maturing in a virgin oak butt with a heavy toast and medium char
Flavour profile: Deep, rich & dried fruits
Outturn: 594 bottles
Panel's tasting note: "An unstraightforward, extrausual nose – we, the no-flannel panel, found oodles of tastylicious toffeenesses, essence of BFG (black forest gâteau), prunes, Madeira-madearie, tobacco threads and polished pipes. The gob-smack was gob-smackingly impactful and chewy as a Wookie’s teazle – maple candies, cinder toffee, cherries in syrup, leather and spice. The water-weakened nose had well-stroked razor-stroppers, fine-and-fancy fumadors, orange peel, lickerish liquorice and pink and dandy candy floss – tip-top snifferoos. The taste was now all fig jam and Jaffa, Jamaicy ginga cakey, juicy pear-belly Helene and sugar-coated fennel seeds. A crodscollop dram to drain hum-drum tedium from the dullest day – gloriumptious, phizz-whizzing and jumpsquiffling."
Drinking tip: "A lip-smackering accompaniser to reading Roald Dahl"

"Nose without Water Rich fruitcake aromas followed by sweet honeycomb and apricot. Ripe fig, stewed prunes, and cinnamon lead to a beeswax polish edge. Palate without Water Sweet initially with pepper developing on the tongue. Blackcurrant, orange, and raisin flavours are accompanied by hints of salted liquorice. Oily walnut combines with dried tobacco on the finish. Nose with Water Intense sweet aromas - demerara sugar, candied peel, and honey notes. A floral undertone develops and combines with a subtle leather edge. Palate with Water Sweet and smooth with hints of cracked black pepper. Red apple, plum, and banana flavours mingle with creamy white chocolate. A hint of grapefruit is present. Body Medium. Finish Medium; spicy and slightly drying."
About Clynelish Distillery (Courtesy Gordon Macphail)
"As histories go, any story concerning Clynelish must give mention to its ‘sister’ distillery, the lost classic, Brora- the distillery effectively closed down by its more modern, efficient sibling. However, since opening in the late 1960s, Clynelish has become widely regarded as one of the true favourites amongst those with the finest palates in the whisky business, including master blenders and other distillers.
"At the heart of Clynelish is a highly distinctive fragrant waxy characteristic, a result of the unusual distilling process employed there where the natural oily compounds build up in the feints receiver, giving a spirit which is both complex, fragrant, viscous and fruity at the same time. An outstanding single malt whisky with a truly unique story and flavour."
