Tormore, 16 Year Old Sherry Oak

The oldest expression in Tormore's revived core range, and the one that leans on the distillery's own history — Elixir Distillers' head blender Oliver Chilton notes that sherry casks have been filled here since production began in 1959. The whisky matures in refill oak before re-racking into cream sherry and oloroso butts, a restrained finish that keeps the house fruitiness intact.
Nose
Prunes, Raisins, aromatic warmth
Palate
Spiced fruit, caramelized nuts, fudge
Finish
Dried fruit, aged oak, baking spices
A great milestone in the newly released collection of Tormore single malts: this is well-developed and broad-shouldered in all the right places, but still showcases the rounded, fruitier side to sherry cask whisky.
