Tormore Blueprint Series 10YO
Elixir Distillers is setting the stage for a new Tormore era with the launch of its Blueprint Series—a trio of 10-year-old single malts that signals both continuity and innovation. After acquiring the Speyside distillery from Pernod Ricard in 2022, Elixir has unveiled these limited releases as a “sneak preview” of the rebirth of Tormore’s single malt identity.
Tormore Blueprint Series 10YO
Crafted to spotlight the diversity of Tormore’s spirit, the Blueprint Series showcases three unique cask styles—Bourbon, Toasted, and Cream Sherry. With just 1,500 bottles of each expression and a 48% ABV, the series invites whisky enthusiasts to experience the foundation of what’s to come. It’s not just a relaunch—it’s a statement.
