Tormore 16 Year Old Single Malt (70cl, 46.8%)

Tormore 16 Year Old is a Speyside single malt whisky, bottled at 46.8% ABV in a 700 ml bottle with natural colour and no chill filtration. It matures first in refill casks of American and European oak, then in toasted cream sherry casks of American oak and Oloroso butts of French and American oak from several bodegas and producers. Only a small proportion of French oak Oloroso butts is used, adding darker, nutty, almost savoury notes and spice, while the American cream sherry casks contribute sweetness. The gentle wood influence leaves room for the fruity distillery character. On the nose there are sticky dates, warm toffee and gentle vanilla. The palate combines creamy fudge, orange peel and spicy nutmeg, and the finish leaves roasted hazelnuts and a fine sweet spice.
