Released in early 2019, this 12 year old single malt from Tobermory was launched in celebration of the distillery returning to life after a two year break! This expression slumbered peacefully in American oak casks for a dozen years before being bottled at 46.3% ABV. What a way to get back in the swing of things!
Pear, peach and apple, with a dusting of brown sugar. Greek yogurt, barley and a hint of cinnamon pastries.
Rounded malt notes once again, now a touch oily. Still packs a hearty helping of stone fruit sweetness.
A flash of orange peel, soft sawdust, toffee and dates.
Fantastic malt for the price, on the palate you can taste just the slightest hint of peat, followed by amazing malty caramel overtones. Would highly recommend.
Love the fruity sweet nose with vanilla spice, and the initial malty salted caramel flavours. Then that explosion of peppery spice was a bit too much, although it softened quickly to a lingering peppery tingling finish. Very nice, but could benefit from a bit more balance.
Tried a few whiskys in lock down not a whisky drinker but single malts changed all that,but not peaty ones. Bought a bottle of 12 year old and wow this is great if new to whisky as I am you must try this no burn lovely flavour. Enjoy

Lovely inviting notes on 'the nose'. Expressively brought to life on 'the palate'. Beautifully lingering on 'the finish'. Tobermory 12....four stars well deserved.
