A mile south of the Spey, Tormore was built between 1958 and 1960 for Long John, and remains one of the most striking distilleries in Scotland: pale granite, copper roofs, a clock that chimes Scottish airs every quarter hour and topiary clipped into the shape of stills. A time capsule in the forecourt waits until 2060. The spirit is smooth and nutty, often with a hint of pear. Elixir Distillers'.
