A refined Speyside malt with a matured flavor. TORMORE 1988 28yo SCOTCH MALT SALES 'THE TASTER' #15948 49.3% One of 221 bottles The aroma is elegant, with notes of orange, faint peach and pear, vanilla cream, cinnamon and ginger, gentle maltiness, and a pleasant oak character. On the palate, it exhibits a matured depth with similarly refined fruity, vanilla, and honeyed sweetness, balanced by the tannic oak structure. The finish leaves a clean, lingering impression of gentle malt and fruit. 【Very Good】 This release from SCOTCH MALT SALES' 'THE TASTER' series features TORMORE 1988, selected by Mr. Tanishima, master distiller at Bar Fingerall in Kagurazaka. Aged in refilled bourbon hogsheads, it offers a balanced natural maturity with a refined oak character. The whisky feels soft and layered, yet overall elegant and pleasant. As expected from Mr. Tanishima's selection, it's a remarkable choice. Although I've been unable to visit the shop lately due to moving and work, I'm eager to hear more about the selection process. #TORMORE (TORMORE)
