Description

Established in 1958 in Speyside, Tormore Distillery is renowned for its architectural beauty and high-quality whiskies. The distillery building is a protected historic site known for its distinctive design and beautiful gardens. This is an independent bottling by Gordon & Macphail of a 40-year-old single-cask Tormore. The whisky’s four decades of ageing in a refill sherry puncheon have brought rich, spiced flavours. It was bottled at cask strength without chill filtration or added colour.

About this spirit

Tormore Distillery, Speyside

Tormore is a relatively young Speyside whisky distillery, founded in 1960 primarily to produce whisky for use in Long John blends, and soon after the Tormore malt was also used among Ballantine’s blends. In 1991 Tormore was one of the whiskies included in the ‘Caledonian Malts,’ alongside Glendronach, Laphroaig and Miltonduff. Tormore produces a few distillery bottlings, including a 10yo, 15yo and Cask Strength malt. Other independent bottlings are more commonplace. There is a time capsule buried in the forecourt of the distillery which is meant to be opened in 2060, and it contains, among other things, a tregnum of Long John blend, which, after 100 years of aging, should be a formidable drink for the person lucky enough to unearth the capsule.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
