Inside Tormore Distillery with Oliver Chilton

Batch 6 Episode 5

2025-08-30 50 min

Description & Show Notes

We’ve driven past Tormore so many times, always wondering what it looks like on the inside – since the distillery is not open to the public. Finally, thanks to Oliver Chilton, we got the chance to take a look behind those iconic walls.

The architecture is striking and beautiful, but not exactly the most practical design for a working distillery – and in the episode you will hear why. Beyond the façade, Tormore reveals its own character: a slightly maddening clock tower, the impressive still house, the special atmosphere inside, and of course the whisky itself – a wonderfully light and fruity Speyside spirit. 

Oliver, head blender at Tormore and Elixir Distillers (or how he would say it: "just a wee blender"), shares some interesting insights about Tormore Distillery, about his way into blending along with some entertaining anecdotes he experienced during that journey and about life (and football) in Speyside in general.

So tune in and join Oliver and us on a deep dive into one of Speyside’s hidden gems.
