Three new That Boutique-y Whiskies; Arran, Tobermory and Tormore

Three new very welcome additions to Master of Malt That Boutique-y whiskies. After reviewing these and these, I review today these new whiskies; Tormore, Tobermory and Arran.

Dunno if it is me or what but this three new whiskies are excellent I didn’t have such a great feeling after tasting the previous bottles of That Boutique-y Whisky Company. Well, the whiskies…

Arran

The first dram I am going to taste is this Arran bottled at almost 50%.

“Delicious nose and has quite a nice touch of sherry. I usually like Arran whiskies but this one is gorgeous crafted. I love it”

91

This dram has a fino-like color.

Nose (92): more than average. honey, vanilla, citrus, mango, banana. Haha! What an awesome nose! Love it!

Palate (91): powerful, oily. honey, nuts, vanilla, wood, citrus, spices, cinnamon.

Finish (90): longer than average. honey, citrus, spices.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Arran - Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) with 91 points over 100.

Tobermory

Now a Tobermory with a label very inspired in the BBC children’s blockbuster: Balamory, that to my astonishment has been recorded at Tobermory.

“Big part of PX aged whisky inside? I am not a fan of PX (or similar) matured whiskies but I have to agree that whatever it is on this Tobermory works quite well”

91

This dram has a fino-like color.

Nose (91): more than average. honey, toffee, citrus, fruits, nuts, leather, vanilla.

Palate (90): powerful, oily. toffee, citrus, nuts, wood, cocoa, vanilla .

Finish (91): longer than average. honey, cocoa, citrus.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Tobermory - Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) with 91 points over 100.

Tormore

As Tormore is used on Long John blend and Long John is a famouse fiction pirate… well… I now see the connection…

“Delightful nose with a touch of gunpowder! Boom! Your own baked apples' munition. Grade A”

91

This dram has a gold-like color.

Nose (92): more than average. honey, floral, spices, pepper, a littlegunpowder.

Palate (90): powerful, oily. honey, citrus, apples, spices, cinnamon, wood, vanilla.

Finish (90): longer than average. honey, citrus, spices.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Tormore - Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) with 91 points over 100.

Miguel says…

Three fantastic drams! Arran whisky is really excellent. I found the Tormore Single Cask a bit strange but this one is quite well crafted. Definitively love them.

Happier than a pig in a mud pool! Thanks for the samples chaps!
