Review #214; Scotch #68: Tormore 28yr 1988 Antique Lions of Spirits

This is a single cask from Antique Lions. This Scotch comes to us from Tormore and was aged for 28 years before being bottled at cask strength wih no additives. I had this blind so keep that in mind reading my review.  

ABV: 50.4%

Nose: Savory Nose, Plums, Dark Chocolate, Baking Spices, honey, cereals,

Palate: Medium and oily mouthfeel, plums, tart blueberries, baking spices, hay, honey

Finish: Medium Length, plums, tart berries, honey, dark chocolate, baking spices.

Rating: 7/10

Guess: This leans on the savory side of things, and I like the way these flavors play togetherI am going to guess this is a single malt, ex-Olroso cask, 48-52% abv, and 15-20 years old
