Tormore - modern Speyside single malt with architectural flair
Built in 1958, Tormore is one of the younger Scotch distilleries, designed by Sir Albert Richardson - the green roofs, bell tower and formal garden are striking. The distillery is located close to the River Spey and uses clear spring water and eight pot still pairs for the high-quality spirit production.
Region & Origin
Located in the heart of Speyside, Tormore draws water from the Allt an Torra Mhoir Burn - a fresh influence that gives the whiskies fruity, floral notes and elegant lightness.
Production & craft
With four wash stills and four spirit stills, Tormore produces smooth, unpeated malt whisky. Long fermentation and indirect steam heating ensure a rich fruitiness and soft texture in the distillate.
Design & brand appearance
The stylish distillery presents itself as a listed building, surrounded by topiary gardens and a live bell tower - a visual statement that is also reflected in the modern packaging.
