Tobermory 10 Year Old

A very drinkable dram, could have been a breakfast tipple for sure! A bit underestimated fresh fellow:)

Not bad whisky, gently peated and smokier. Not very complex, is a good entry level whisky for who wants taste the great peated Islay and Islands whisky.

To whisky, what a Burgundy is to a Bordeaux, or any Romantic to Beethoven. Charming, rather than grandiose. I'd give it to my mother in hopes she'd serve it back to me.

The 10year old 40% is much smoother.

A hugely drinkable dram. Delicious flavour, a slight touch of smoke, with a marvellous, well balanced taste. A wonderful, easy drink. Perfect for sipping in the evening or charging the hip-flask.

This whisky gets a bit of a bad press in the whisky community, but it drinks well, albeit with a weak finish. But, it's not overly sweet and has a light smoky and saline quality I like. More interesting that Speysides at the same pricepoint, for sure.

Apologies, my review above was of the old 40% 10yo bottling!

Such a smooth dram, just got it for my 21st and I couldn't be happier. The little hint of smoke is gorgeous!

So the night started well... Laddie 16, onto Port Charlotte 10 then Octomore 2.1... Absolutely fantastic. A couple of hours later we had a hankering for something else too. So with clean palates we opened the Tobermory and we were really impressed. It doesn't have the punch or full character of the Islay malts, but very nice. Very clean and fresh. Will be getting through the bottle before long!

Very enjoyable and reasonably prized whisky. Definitely a recommended one.

Never had the old one so cannot compare it. Not my first Island foray, but definitely different. Flavours were not over-complex, good for a new Island sampler like me. Quite floral on the nose and almost grass-like. Taste is short but peppery like Talisker though with more smoke like Jura/Islay malts - a quite unique blend. Finish is pleasant and sea-salty, almost akin to Oban. All in all a very nice and surprisingly complex malt at this price.
