Thompson Brothers Tormore 1992 (28 year old) 47.3%
Refill Bourbon Hogshead
Dist: 1992 Btl: 2021/ Tasted: July 2022
The nose is high toned and straw-like with some lovely. Juicy orange blossom honey, barley and subtle, mature, sawdusty oak. The aromas become quite creamy as the oak asserts itself. Lat marzipan and almond skin.
The palate is full and honeyed but there is a slightly raw edginess. Hints of tea leaf, cardboard and subtle orange. It becomes more astringent and rougher towards the middle. Short, astringent, bitter spiced finish.
With water the nose is simpler and shows more sugar coated orange, wet hay and tobacco leaf. The palate has come extremely cardboardy, which is a shame. The spirit is creaking!
