Insider knowledge: Tobermory 10 Year Old whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Tobermory 10 Year Old whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
The nose is quite light and fresh. There are notes of barley sugars and toasted cereals, hints of winter spice and a soft oak with notes of salty melted butter and ground ginger. The palate is quite sweet and light. There are notes of acacia honey and a soft oak, the smoke and peppers thereof rise gently with a touch of dried fruit and peel with a cinnamon note. The finish is long and herbal with a touch of pepper. ...more
The Master of Malt
Breakfast whisky
A very drinkable dram, could have been a breakfast tipple for sure! A bit underestimated fresh fellow:)
a good entry level islands malt
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.
46%
The 10year old 40% is much smoother.
Delicious Tasting whisky
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.
Perfectly drinkable
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.
Perfectly drinkable (correction)
Apologies, my review above was of the old 40% 10yo bottling!
