A gentle, affable 10 year old single malt from the Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull. Now at the higher strength of 46.3%...
Barley sugars and toasted cereal, supported by hints of winter spice and soft oak. Salty melted butter and ground ginger develop.
Quite sweet and light. There are elements of acacia honey and continuing oak from the nose. Smoke and black pepper notes rise gently with a touch of dried fruit and peels. A flash of cinnamon later on.
Long and herbal with a touch of pepper.
someone said it lacked the charachter of the islay malts and being it is the only distillary on the isle of mull id disagree and say it has its own fantastic charachter. brilliant single malt
always loved this whiskey! got to be my number one for winter. great flavour with a few drops of water added. really warms you up. seen alot of people saying it was sweet, i didnt get that myself. I'm by no means an expert but i am scottish and have had my share of whiskeys. this is great value for money!
A very good whiskey indeed lovely sweet slightly smokey aftertaste and flavoursome tones with an understated pale finish.It is smooth on the palate and has a beautiful lingering taste a real gem A fine whiskey and an excellent choice .Thanks J im
I call shenanigans on all the bad reviews for both Deanston and Tobermory 10. I am a restauranteur/bar owner and have stocked both over the course of many years after doing multiple blind tastings. I am a fan of well balanced, subtle, complex, slightly sweet, non-bitter and easy drinking smooth liquors. I am not a fan of harsh, alcohol tasting/burn, overly strong flavors, heavily intense flavors. I can understand why those who prefer a stronger, bolder profile might not enjoy Tobermory or Deanston as much a I do, but in no way can I understand some of the "worst I've ever had" type criticisms from anyone unless they are drinking from a damaged, abused or counterfeit bottle. Or, the bad reviews might be from those with other motives. I urge all to try for themselves, taste blind if possible among a selection of good offerings, and make up one's own mind. Deanston 12 and Tobermory 10 are among my favorite scotch whiskys at any price and are truly great values with price considered. Ledaig also gets a nod from me as well.
Definately not the smoothest 10 yr. out there. Strong start, light peat finish, little boozey for my taste.
