Tormore 16. Image courtesy Chivas Brothers. Like the Tormore 14, this expression is only available in France. However, it is bottled with no chill-filtering or added coloring.

The nose is creamy with notes of rose petals, honey, butterscotch, and a hint of citrus. The taste has a good spiciness with notes of white pepper and cardamom, but remains well-balanced with honey, vanilla, butterscotch, and subtle citrus notes. The finish is long and smooth, slightly dry, and fades gently. Excellent! (September, 2015)
