Part of the First Editions Authors' Series of single cask releases from independent bottler Hunter Laing & co, this 28 year old Speyside single malt was distilled in November 1988 and matured in sherry butt HL14253. Bottled in October 2017 at a natural cask strength of 54.1% abv, only 244 bottles have been produced, each one presented in a handsome leather case emblazoned with gold lettering.A rich amber coloured whisky, this long-aged Speysider has spent its life in a second-fill European oak sherry butt and has notes of intense chocolate, dried fruits – plums, dates – and tobacco on the nose. Powerful on the palate with macerated fruits, brown sugar, cocoa powder and a touch of cinnamon leading onto a long, lingering finish at which point the oak tannins begin to reveal themselves.Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) was an African-American writer, orator, abolitionist and statesman. A former slave in Maryland, Douglass went on to become a national leader in the abolitionist movement, gaining acclaim for his anti-slavery writings including The Heroic slave, My Bondage and My Freedom and A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.~ Master of Malt

A large, palatial structure that has been alternately characterized as appearing like a power station and a Baltic hydropathic hotel sits on either side of two crescents of whitewashed homes, which once housed the distillery's staff. This distillery was also constructed to benefit from the rise of whiskey in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The number of stills has increased from four to eight when it first opened. All have purifiers connected, which serves to lighten the spirit and give it, when grown, a noticeably strong edge. It started being bottled as a single malt immediately after it joined the Chivas Brothers range, but despite this, it has never garnered a lot of support. However, two bottlings made exclusively for the French market in 2014 imply that this may change. The construction of Sir Albert Richardson's design, who was the president of the Royal Academy at the time, began in 1959 (Tormore started distilling in 1961). At the time, Tormore was a part of Long John Distillers, and the company's namesake mixes, which were popular in North America, mostly used its product. As a result of Allied Distillers purchasing the Long John stable in 1989, it is currently one of the malts used in Ballantine's. Currently, Chivas Brothers includes Tormore (as well as Ballantine's) (Pernod Ricard).
