Stop number 67 on the SDT is Tormore. A fairly unknown Speyside distillery, they do have several official releases but are not widely available, which leads me to this independent bottle from Berry’s. 21 years old, distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2014, 54% ABV, non chill filtered and natural color of pale gold. Cask reference # 100. The nose starts on the earthy/vegetal side. It transitions into warm oak, floral honey and cereal malt. Hints of sherry and nuts. Fruity with apricots, red plums, faint banana, grilled pineapple, toasted coconut, pears and melons. There is a very faint wood smoke, buttery biscuits and a light toffee. Old leather and tobacco with a hint of lemon. Apple skins, vanilla, ginger and some mint/herbs. A bit of a weird waxy/soapy note at the bottom of the glass. The palate has strong oak and oak tannins. Sherry, likely refill or third fill. Pineapple, tangerines, apple skins, faint coconut. Light tobacco and leather. Dates, raisins, slightly vegetal. Finishes with a bit of sawdust. Medium bodied mouthfeel, lightly oily and mouthwatering. A medium length finish with sherry oak, fruity with a touch of bitterness. Dry. Finally a good bottle from Berry’s. Not a great bottle, but a good one. Some nice complexity on the nose, but not so much on the palate. It’s a bit jumbled at times and seems to lack real cohesion. At $120 it’s too expensive for what you get, but it’s a good price for a 21 year old. Thanks to @Telex for the sample. 3.5. Cheers
