Single Malt

An exquisite expression from Tobermory, distilled in 2003 and matured for 17 years. After an initial stay in refill hogsheads, this single malt was treated to a generous four year finishing period in ex-Madeira casks, resulting in gloriously nutty notes of burnt toffee and sweet sultanas, and a majestic hue. A top sipper for after dinner, we're keen to try this one with a nice cheese board!
Sweet, clove-studded orange, oily oak, and wafts of floral tea, with layers of gloopy toffee and clotted cream.
Nutty malt and maple syrup are balanced by creamy pastel de nata, leading to zesty peels and juicy sultanas. Warming root ginger rests beneath.
Stewed prunes and raisins soften prickles of pepper, with aromatic baking spices and distant leather towards the end.
So much flavour. A superb whisky, the fruity smell is divine, puts all my other whiskies to shame
