This is the first batch of Tormore single malt Scotch whisky from Tormore distillery, bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company. It comes with a wonderful graphic-novel-style label with a reference to the fact that Tormore is used in the Long John blend, and of course there is also a rather famous – though fictitious – pirate by the name of Long John! Accordingly, the label sees the distillery converted into a pirate ship, sailing the seven seas!
This is a release of 226 numbered bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains, bourbons, blended malts and blends from a variety of renowned distilleries. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic-novel-style labels.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Quite a herbal, rich nose with hints of peppermint and confectioner's sugar. A touch of maple syrup, apple peel and creamy Greek yoghurt.
Palate Thick, vanilla-led palate entry with a solid core of woody spices (particularly nutmeg). Develops with dried raspberries and banana milk. A hint of pepper.
Finish Peppery, fruity finish with dried cranberries and redcurrant jelly.
Overall A lovely development of red berries arrives late palate. Jolly good stuff.
