Gordon & Macphail Discovery Tormore 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Completed in 1960, Tormore was the first new distillery to be built in Scotland in the 20th century. It has been controlled by Pernod-Ricard since they purchased Allied Domecq in 2005. According to the folks at www.whisky-pages.com, "...For many years, Tormore suffered by association with the once extremely indifferent Long John blend, but the make is clearly much improved of late."

Part of G&M's new 'Discovery' series, this middle aged Tormore was matured in a Bourbon cask.

Notes from the bottler... Aroma: Fruity and lively: abundant tropical fruit notes of pineapple, grapefruit, coconut, and freshly squeezed lime weave with hints of freshly cut grass and toasted malt. Taste: Creamy, the sweetness of the vanilla, velvety milk chocolate, and baked apple are perfectly balanced by zesty citrus peel. Undertones of plump apricot and juicy mango develop. Finish: Delightfully delicate with gentle lingering herbal tones finish with nuances of charred oak. 43% Alc./Vol.
