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.

A wonderful unpeated dram.
I am only just realizing how unique this Whisky is and I'm nearly at the bottom. It is in one word fresh, and light and a nice change from the normal. It is an unpeated Ledaig 10 as Macallan gold is the unpeated Springbank 15, Slainthe!
I have been marinading myself in sherry monsters for the past year and a half. Whether because all the best casks have been used up or because my taste buds are saturated I can't say but they seem to be becoming a bit samey (too many "no age statement" i.e. young whiskies on the market now). Long story short, I decided to broaden out a bit more (not the waistline though) and this was taking up space on the shelf with about a dram and a half in the bottom. Wow! Light, fruity, airy, sweet, ginger.......I am smitten all over again. Now I've bought another bottle so I still don't have space. damn. Guess I'll have to drink it then.
I first tried this amazing single malt (along with its peaty sister Ledaig) on the ferry trip from Craignure on the Isle of Mull to Oban and I knew I would need a bottle when I got back home. Wasn't easy to find but now that I have it very happy I do. This is an incredibly unique single malt only thing I can think of that tastes like this is Loch Lomond original in that it has the same buttery note but this is more herbal and coastal with a similar hint of peat as well. Incredibly complex for 10 years this really take me back to Mull an incredibly remote and beautiful place only wish I could have visited this distillery . Cheers! The Sugarbear
Tasty, smokey, spicy, haggis in a glass. Strong drink. Great value for money. If you do not like booze, best give it a miss.
