The Golden Cut Tormore 2015 Amontillado Cask Finish

The Coopers Choice

Distilled in the heart of Speyside at the Tormore distillery in 2015, this single malt spent nine years maturing in American oak followed by a final period in an Amontillado sherry cask. Known for its elegant, nutty profile, Tormore spirit is perfectly suited for Amontillado wood, which adds a savory, leathery depth to the distillery’s bright, fruity character.

"The Golden Cut Collection" is a premium series within The Coopers Choice range, curated to showcase small batches and single casks where the spirit and the wood have reached a point of perfect harmony. The name refers to the "heart of the run," the most desirable portion of the distillation, and the series is designed to deliver a bold, honest, and unadulterated experience. Every bottling in this collection is presented at a robust 50% ABV, without chill-filtration or artificial colouring, ensuring the true character of the cask remains intact.

The nose reveals rich oak, vanilla, and honeyed stone fruits with a touch of praline.

On the palate, expect nutty malt, runny toffee, and creamy milk chocolate balanced by leathery oak and soft spices.

The finish is oily and lingering, with notes of waxed citrus, vanilla fudge, and nutty biscotti.

A limited release of 396 bottles, this is a refined and complex Speyside expression.
