That Boutique-y Whisky Company Tormore Tasting Notes

That Boutique-y Whisky Company Tormore Batch 2 51.4%

Btl: 2015/ Tasted: Feb 2016

The nose is full, fragrant and tropical – honeydew melon, peach, pear and apricot notes  mingle with runny honey and sawdusty oak. With time a balancing lime citrus note appears along with some buttery oak notes.

Full and barley’d on the palate with hints of straw to begin with. Less tropical but showing a lovely density of apricot, lime and orange fruit. Obviously mature with subtle coffee’d oak. Long, fleshy, minerally and slightly citric with the alcohol drying a little but the oak lingers. In conclusion: A lovely Spey. I’d like to have seen a little more honey sweetness on the finish to balance the drier notes, but that nit picking!
