Tobermory Scotch Single Malt 12 Year Isle of Mull 750 ml

$119.99

About The Whisky: This is the first new release from Tobermory since their two year hiatus. Released at the distillery in 2019 it took a while to get hear (thank you covid). Tobermory 12-Year-Old is straight up, simple and beautiful. Un-peated and aged in bourbon cask it is sweet and gentle but still has plenty of lovely malty flavors. It is a true expression its Hebridean home and Tobermory 12 has a colorful palette of vibrant fruit and spice with a subtle saltiness reflective of the neighboring harbor waters.

Tasting Notes: from Cask Cartel
Nose: Pear, peach and apple, with a dusting of brown sugar. Greek yogurt, barley and a hint of cinnamon pastries.

Palate: Rounded malt notes once again, now a touch oily. Still packs a hearty helping of stone fruit sweetness.

Finish: A flash of orange peel, soft sawdust, toffee and dates.

About Tobermory Distillery:
“Established in 1798, ours is the only distillery on the island of Mull and one of the oldest commercial distilleries in Scotland. It is unique, not just because of its idyllic location, but because it produces two different, but equally alluring, single malts: the fruity, unpeated Tobermory and the more robust and smokier Ledaig. Centuries have passed, but our uncompromising tradition, dedication and devotion remain. It is always a privilege to welcome new friends to our distillery and share our world with them.” The Distillery
