Tobermory Heavily Peated 16 Year Old 1998 - Single Cask (Master of Malt)
Heavily peated single malt Scotch whisky from the Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull, drawn from a single refill bourbon cask that was filled in 1998 and matured the whisky for 16 years. We've bottled this as part of our Single Cask range, and it's a top notch dram of coastal, peaty single malt. Get stuck in!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Crumbly oat cakes topped with lightly smoked cheese and green apple slices right from the get-go. It moves on to seaweed-y peat, honeydew melon, custard creams and a hint of orange oil.
Palate
A rich, creamy and surprisingly mellow mouth-feel (even at 55.7% ABV!) brings the subdued citrus from the nose to the fore of the palate. This is joined by slightly medicinal peat, more oat cakes and toasted brioche. A drop of water brings out white grape notes too.
Finish
Very long, with lasting peat heat and candied peels going on and on.
Overall
It's not a shy dram, that's for sure - this Tobermory wears its vibrant, peaty heart on its sleeve.
