Sweet and indeed smoky - no arguments there. This kind of smoked hay, smoked oatmeal and smoked seaweed combination. Smoky indeed. The Islay cask must have had a few litres of something sloshing about in its depths. Could you argue this is a blended malt? Answers on a postcard to Chateau Whiskyfun in Turckheim... anyway, back to the malt in glass... I’m not getting much from the port side of things but the overall profile is perfectly clean, farmy, smoky, slightly coastal and rather pleasing. Some gravel-laced porridge (an old Drumnadrochit delicacy, try it) and a little gingerbread. With water: some smouldering car tyres, WD40, graphite and a few crushed sea shells

again the peaty aspects are loudest to begin with. Some berryish sweetness that I presume comes from the Port. Blind I’d probably have guessed Mongolian Goat Wine before picking Tormore. Speaking of which, there is a rather earthy and animalistic side to this one. Almost dung-esque in fact, approaching a suspiciously dirty cow udder? With water: mezcal, lemon oil, smoky bacon and plain old sweet peat. Is this Tormore or Bowmore?
timer Finish
Reasonably long, pleasingly smoky, this animal/dung/earth/farmyard curiosity is back with a vengeance
