Day Two of Four in the ‘Four Days of Tobermory’.

A multi cask bottling from the independent bottler Murray McDavid and without the addition of caramel for colouring or chill filtration. The nose is heathery and malty, buttery, sherried but still slight closed. A little hand warming reveals more sweetness and just the slightest hint of smoke plus some oak. Black tea (cold). The taste is sweet with a back ground of malt, chocolate, fruit and then further malt. Some heavier notes of cured tobacco before it has been lit. The finish is straight forward; fruit (berries, plump raisins, dried apricots) and chewy dry malt and cocoa. The ever slightest of palm oil at the very end of the finish.

Actually quite a pleasant dram.
