This single cask bottling of a 23-year-old Tormore single malt was produced by Jack Wiebers under the Gentle Nose label. The whisky was distilled in 1995, matured in an ex-bourbon cask and bottled in 2019 in a run of 630 individually numbered bottles.
Tormore is a distillery near Grantown-on-Spey, Moray, Scotland, founded by Long John Distillers in 1958. It was the first new distillery built in Scotland in the 20th century. Through various takeovers, it eventually passed to Pernod Ricard, who sold it to Elixir Distillers in 2022.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
