Tormore 16 Year Old

Another whisky that made me curious because it is nearly completely unknown. Nose: raspberry jam, cherries, malty, saw dust, ripe strawberries, a bid like hamster food (that dry mix of pellets, grain flakes, dried fruit ...), cold coffee, peaches, bid of vanilla. I not gonna lie - it is a bid weird and unusual, but that I find interesting. Palate: light, sweet and fruity, fruit-kernels, it has a strange funky note that is noticeable on the nose as well - I’m not sure what that is but I never had that in any whisky before except for Campbeltown - it in fact reminds me of Springbang. It also has some charred smokiness. Finish: nice balance of sweet, sour, dry and bitter. It is a curious whisky that I think could work really well with some peat to it. But it also is nicely drinkable like this and has some nice depths and is really unique. I like that. An interesting experience for sure.

Nose: candied oranges, watermelon, light enough. Palate: mixed dried fruit (apples, coconut, apricots), raisins, café au lait, caramel. Very delicate. Final: also this delicate, light, pleasant, medium short. I loved it, it doesn't have an out of place note, to drink at any time of day or night! 4.50 rating __________________________________________________ Naso: arance candite, anguria, abbastanza leggero. Palato: frutta secca mista (mele, cocco, albicocche), uvetta, caffellatte, caramello. Molto delicato. Finale: anche questo delicato, leggero, piacevole, medio breve. Mi è piaciuto tantissimo, non ha una nota fuori posto, da bere a qualunque ora del giorno e della notte! Voto 4,50

What a surprising little fellow. Tormore has only two core expressions nowadays, the 14yo one and this great whisky, aged for 16 years. This is not only two years older than its predecessor, but also has a higher abv, 48%, which adds lot of flavor and character to it. On the nose i got Almonds, Peaunts, Figs and ripe fruits. Tobacco. On the palate, chocolate and sherried figs. Very very nice even if it is a little straightforward. Aftertaste feels like eating a snickers chocolate bar. So nutty, so much vanilla sweetness. This is a great dram that i truly recommend. 90 over 100.

Some flowers, salty notes and creme brulee. Alcohol hits from the nose, but seems balanced in the taste with the other notes. Slight peaty sensation in the after-taste with vanilla flavor
