Tormore 35 Year Old 1988: A Rare Speyside Treasure

Douglas Laing celebrates 75 years of heritage with this exceptional Tormore 35 Year Old, a collaboration between the legendary Scallywag and the prestigious XOP Black series. Distilled in May 1988 and matured for 35 years in a single Sherry Butt before bottling in September 2023, this is a rare opportunity to experience whisky aged in classic sherry casks for decades.

Bottled at natural cask strength (46.2% ABV) without chill filtration and natural colour, this Tormore retains its full, characterful profile. Tormore Distillery, built in 1960 on the edge of the Cairngorms in Speyside, is renowned for its modernist architecture and traditionally used for blending. This 35-year-old expression demonstrates why the distillery deserves recognition as a single malt producer.

The nose reveals citrus, vanilla, and caramel with dried spices and red berries. The palate delivers caramel and toffee with peppery notes and red fruit, finishing with dried fruit, oak, and full spice. A truly elegant and complex Speyside character that will appeal to collectors and connoisseurs of mature whisky.
