Producer Description
"Meet Jimmy Barleycorn - one of the many characters that inhabit Whiskyland. He only shows his fizzog when whiskies of great age with extraordinarily pure raw ingredient characteristics emerge. So, in other words, catching sight of Jimmy Barleycorn is a rare occurrence. Thankfully, he's cutting about with glee for Whiskyland Chapter 12: a single refill barrel of 1992 Tormore, matured for 33 years and bottled at natural cask strength. As Jimmy Barleycorn's presence denotes, this is pure, raw, vivid old malt whisky, that reeks of raw malted barley, yeast and time. A pale, powerful, bright and waxy old dram for those, like Jimmy, who like their whiskies raw, natural and naked!"

"The label rather brings to mind the old film ‘The Wicker Man’, doesn’t it? Perhaps this is a whisky intended for certain wild rituals in the far northern reaches of Scotland, let’s see. Colour: straw. Nose: well now, it’s the same—or nearly—as the 1990, only a touch more refined, but conversely a little less fruity. A bit more on perfectly ripe baby banana, and absolutely no trace of coconut, so none of that ‘Scottish piña colada’ effect here. You see what I mean. With water: we’re setting course for minerality and mirabelle plums. Very lovely, fresh, elegant, easy-going, well-balanced. Since it’s just us here, it rather brings to mind those old Benriachs from the 1970s. Mouth (neat): rich, fruity, and spot on. Fruit salad with honey and olive oil, oranges of every variety, and a very welcome touch of salt. I do think we don’t mention salinity often enough when it comes to mouthfeel in malt whisky. With water: the citrus takes centre stage now. Very fine indeed. Finish: ultra-classic, fresh and fruity, with loads of small, slightly fatty components that remain eminently elegant. Comments: what a trio these three older Tormores have made! SGP:651 - 90 points."

Producer Description
"Please be warned that this whisky is extremely fruity, juicy and exquisite. As such, please refrain from wearing the new All-Automatic Opinion Digitiser 3000 while tasting it. The intensity of the opinions it will induce could potentially be sufficient to crash the internet a destabilise Whiskyland. You will just have to sit quietly and drink this whisky by yourself or in the physical company of other people, like it was done in ye olden times."
