- Description
- Tormore spent 23 years developing in a small octave cask before Duncan Taylor bottled it for The Octave series, concentrating the Speyside distillery's fruity, refined character into an intense single-cask expression. The diminished cask size accelerates wood interaction, creating concentrated complexity from the 1995 distillation.
