As you savor each sip, the palate reveals a continuation of the nose’s flavors, with honey, herbs, and a slight bitterness from orange peel creating a harmonious balance. The medium finish is characterized by light mint, eucalyptus, melon, honey, and warm, slightly green oak. This whisky exemplifies Tormore's ability to produce exceptional casks, despite its relatively low profile in the whisky world.
