The new bottling of the famous Beathan (a peated single malt from a distillery in the Southern Highlands) follows the trend of previous ones. it was distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2018. Outturn of 1200 bottles.
The use of continental peat results in the complete absence of the maritime aromas of the peated whiskies of the islands, making Beathan quite unique in its style but just as robust and intense as the heaviest malts of the islands.
Nose: Burnt honey, barley sugar candies, very rich and intriguing. Maraschino cherries burning on a campfire, or red apple peel alongside rich cigar smoke.
Mouth: Malty, rich with an intensity of dark red berries. Genuine notes of cherry and cranberry with a touch of spice.
Finish: More spice, but with a salty sea note right at the end… truly refreshing.
Nose: Tormore 12 Years Old reveals delicate aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and honey, with a light floral touch. Feel: On the palate, this single malt offers balanced flavors of stone fruit, toffee and woody notes, all wrapped up in a velvety smoothness. Finish: The finish of Tormore 12 Years Old is moderately long, leaving a gentle spicy warmth and hints of dried fruit on the palate.
