Portrait: What makes the Tormore Vintage 2012 1st-fill Bourbon Barrel #921187 - Legacy Casks special

If whiskies had character (and we're pretty sure they do), then the Tormore 2012 would be the energetic guy at the party, the first one on the dance floor - but in a three-piece suit. Young, charming, powerful - and with a whopping 60.8% ABV, definitely not for the faint-hearted.

The Tormore Distillery is an architectural gem in Speyside: majestic, neatly symmetrical, almost too pretty to be used for dirty work like distilling. But that's exactly what it's been doing - since 1958 - with a dedication you can taste. Elixir Distillers took the helm in 2022 and has been serious about the house's hidden treasures ever since.

The Legacy Casks series is Tormore's answer to the question: "What happens when you combine really good cask management with a great flavor heritage?" The answer: liquid gold. Or in this case: Single Cask #921187 - First Fill Bourbon Barrel, cask strength, non-chill filtered, uncolored, unvarnished.

At 12 years old, the Tormore 2012 combines youthful energy with astonishing maturity. Only 230 bottles are available – a true collector's item, if you can manage not to drink it all up first. Because, as they say in Speyside? We can grow old later - for now, it's Tormore time.

In short: The Tormore 2012 is the lively newcomer among the Legacy Casks - young, wild, and definitely has the potential to be a favorite of the group.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Tormore Vintage 2012 1st-fill Bourbon Barrel #921187 - Legacy Casks tastes like

• Nose: Robust and inviting. Buttery coconut pastry first hits the nose, accompanied by a delicate sweetness and a hint of vanilla. Behind this, ripe pears and a fresh, lightly roasted citrus aroma emerge – playful, but with depth.
• Palate: Full-bodied and intense – the 60.8% ABV makes itself felt, but in an elegant way. Creamy vanilla fudge meets roasted lemon peel, accompanied by juicy pears and a fine coconut note reminiscent of oven-warm pastries.
• Finish: Long, warm, and aromatic. The sweetness fades slowly, while citrus freshness and a hint of coconut linger. A worthy finale with emphasis and structure.
