Tormore Murray McDavid Benchmark Uitvlugt Rum Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 2015 Vintage
Out of stock
As one of Scotland’s first distilleries built in the 20th Century, Tormore Distillery quickly became an iconic whisky landmark in Speyside. The striking neo-classical architecture belies the tranquil spirit that flows from Tormore’s stills. Here, we debut this magnificent malt in our Benchmark series for the very first time!
“After maturing for seven years in standard hogsheads, we put this Tormore spirit into rare Caribbean rum barrels from Uitvlugt Distillery (pronounced ‘eye-flut’). The now closed distillery produced a vibrant, Guyanese rum that has, after three years, allowed us to create a vivaciously fun dram – we toast the renaissance of Tormore.”.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with sunlit gold and copper undertones, a warm mahogany glow.
Nose
A bright bouquet of tropical fruit, its sweetness tempered by liquorice and grassy notes, light and fresh on the nose.
Palate
Candied pineapple greets the palate with a rich, oily mouthfeel, while honied malt threads a warm, lingering sweetness through every swallow.
Finish
An elongated, aromatic finish of tropical esters that lingers on the palate, softened by ginger warmth and a delicate echo of anise.
