Whisky Wednesday Reviews Tobermory 12YO, 46.3% – Scotch Whisky News
Established in 1798, and still one of the oldest distilleries in Scottish history, the Tobermory distillery is home to peated and unpeated whisky. Ledaig is for those of you who prefer a distinctly west coast, peated, rugged, yet still sweet kind of whisky. Tobermory, I must say, it’s been a long time since I last tried it. It’s an ashamed thing to admit, but I know it has my full interest.
The label states ‘gentle, floral and unpeated’. This is true, no doubt about it. But inside this whisky are deeper, darker, more intense flavours than what I expected to find in a ‘lighter’ style of west coast single malt. This bottle honestly reminds me of salt, truffle, honey, candle wax, ginger, and vanilla. A very interesting and complex whisky for below £50 per bottle.
