Brave New Spirits Tormore Tasting Notes

Posted: August 23, 2023 in Scotch Whisky H-Z, Tormore

Whisky of Voodoo ‘The Nailed Puppet’ Speyside Single Malt 11 year old 52.6%

Batch 1 – Tormore aged in First and Second Fill Bourbon Barrels

Tasted: Jun 2022

The nose is a little tight but honeyed with apple, pear, peach and a touch of orange and gooseberry. Late vanilla and lemon.

The palate opens with some creamy oak, barley and apricot. Fuller than the nose suggests as the oak is more noticeable. Orange, pear, gooseberry, spice and citrus appears. Good length, if a little hot, but pleasantly spiced.

Diluted the nose is fuller and more honeyed and oaky. Simpler with late malt biscuits. The palate is also simpler and oakier. Less citrus, more malt. Longer, maltier finish.
