Official Tasting Notes

Aroma: Stewed fruit and baked apple give way to subtle treacle notes. Brown sugar comes to the fore alongside orange peel and fragrant vanilla.

Palate: Rich dark chocolate and aniseed lead to an undertone of hazelnut. Flavours of cinnamon spice combines with a trace of black pepper and charred oak. 

Finish: A full, spicy and slightly drying finish with lingering mixed nuts. 

Tormore in the Speyside region lies north, east of Grantown-on-Spey in Morayshire. Founded in 1958 by Schenley International the distillery was up and running two years later to supply whisky for the blending houses. It now is owned by Elixir Distillers, the company belonging to Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh. They acquired the distillery recently in June 2022 and intend to open a visitor centre. In Tormore, they certainly have a site that is perfect for such a project as the listed buildings are already stunning themselves. Designed by the renowned architect Sir Albert Richardson, these buildings are beautiful with their green copper roofs and tall feature windows. Tormore is one of Scotland’s larger distilleries and has eight stills in total housed in the impressively tall still house. At the moment the core range includes the 14 & 16 year olds. Exciting times lie ahead for this distillery with such ambitious entrepreneurs at the helm who aim to capitalise on work already done and further enhance the brand on a global stage.
