A delightful little 12 year old dram from the Speyside distillery, Tormore.
This bottle was part of a private collection and may show signs of wear if of a certain vintage - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
The nose is quite light and fresh. There are notes of cut hay and stemmy grass, cut flowers and a leafy note. Hints of resin and pine oil with malt extract and toasted barley, hints of cinnamon and pepper. The palate is of medium-body and very smooth. There are notes of Dundee marmalade with fresh zesty note. There are hints of slightly sour grape and fresh hay and grass. There are notes of barley sugar and a soft oak. The finish is of good length with a touch of oak and hay.
I didn't like the finish.
A close friend and I have fallen for the smooth taste and drinkability of Tormore. It has fast become our favorite single malt, though we continue to test others, with only a couple even coming close. The down side: a bottle doesn't last long enough! :-) deno
