Tormore 12 Year Old 2010 (cask 801185) - Middle Cut (Dramfool)
A classic Speysider here from the picturesque Tormore Distillery, filled on 3 November 2010 into a single bourbon barrel (#801185) and then aged for 12 years. It was bottled on 27 July 2023 at 61.5% ABV with an outturn of 168 bottles. The tasting notes come from former Bruichladdich master distiller Jim McEwan MBE.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Unmistakably Speyside with the malty oaky vanilla notes working in harmony with the crispy sweet cereal aromas. On a distinct drift of toasted oak, crisp kiln-dried malted barley followed by a beautiful combination of vanilla extract, light fruit notes, fresh fruit, apple & pear. As the aromas expand a twist of spice evolves from the bourbon residue lying deep in the oak staves. It’s fresh and vibrant with a hint of sweetness, honey, and malt extract all working in harmony with the oak resin. It requires a dash of water to enjoy the skill of the distiller and the passage of time.
Palate
The cereal sweetness works well with the charred oak staves to produce a taste that is full of character. Fruity hints created by the yeast during the fermentation process work brilliantly with the oaky foundation. Fresh & vibrant with a viscosity that completely seduces the tastebuds. The sweetness of the malt extract with the bourbon residue giving the spirit a texture that is succulent & spicy. Add a dash of water which will allow the flavours to evolve and work in harmony.
Finish
The finish is silky smooth, long in tenure and quality.
