Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh pear drop, lemon zest and blossom honey drift over vanilla fudge, almond pastry and a hint of meadow hay. Palate: Silky layers of toffee apple, malted biscuit and ripe peach glide across the tongue, followed by white-pepper warmth, toasted coconut and a touch of oak char. Finish: Medium-long and gently drying—lingering malt sweetness, soft oak spice and a final flourish of candied citrus peel.

Celebrate understated Speyside elegance with Tormore 26 Year Old – 1988 Vintage, The Golden Cask. Distilled during the distillery’s late-eighties heyday and laid down in Single Cask #CM226, this whisky spent over a quarter-century slowly evolving before House of MacDuff bottled it for their hand-picked Golden Cask series in November 2015. Un-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 278 individually numbered bottles capture Tormore’s hallmark orchard-fruit sweetness intertwined with creamy vanilla, gentle spice and polished oak—the epitome of mature Speyside charm.

Why We Think You’ll Love It

  • Drawn from a single cask (#CM226) after 26 years, showcasing mature orchard fruit, creamy vanilla and refined Speyside oak.

  • Bottled for House of MacDuff’s boutique Golden Cask series—always non-chill-filtered and natural in colour for full body and authenticity.

  • Limited to just 278 bottles, making it a coveted gem for collectors and fans of quietly complex Speyside malts.

  • Demonstrates Tormore’s classic style—elegant, fruit-forward and delicately spiced—elevated by over two decades of patient maturation.

Savour this rare Tormore and enjoy a seamless fusion of orchard freshness, creamy sweetness and polished oak—an unforgettable Speyside dram from the Golden Cask.
