Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46.3%

Tobermory is a distillery that has really begun to thrive recently, with a growing cult following for their Ledaig peated single malt whisky.

To focus on Ledaig alone, though, would be to miss out on the delights of the distillery's standard unpeated single malt, which seems to get better and better with each new batch.

Consistency is not a word much previously associated with Tobermory, but their recent bottlings have been consistently top drawer.

This Tobermory 12-year-old replaced the old 10-year-old as the distillery's standard bottling in 2019, when Tobermory reopened after a two year rebuild.

Matured in ex-bourbon casks before a finishing period in virgin oak, it's been very well-received and represents another step up in quality for Tobermory.

the Old Man of Huy
Tobermory 12yo (46.3%, OB, ex-Bourbon Casks Finished in Virgin Oak Casks, b. ca. 2025)

Nose: we have a fruity, dry white wine, probably a Riesling, maybe from Chablis, and rubbery green grapes. It is not as rubbery as plastic green grapes, but not too far off either. That is followed by plump white plums, Mirabelle, at a push, then deeper tones: nectarines and damsons hint at blueberries and currants. Stupendously, that is soon almost entirely replaced with subtle smoke, the result of burning orchard wood. Then, we start from the top again, with rubbery fruits making way for sultanas and fresh crayons. The second nose is more enticing, with more plums, nectarines, and blueberries, juicier with every sniff. Mouth: ooh! This is dry and bitter, quite mineral. If still a tad rubbery, the grapes are now Chenin Blanc, sixteen grapes to the juice drop, and they come with an earthiness that tOMoH did not expect. Crayon shavings -- older crayons, which means they are dry-ish. It is pleasant on the palate, not thick, while not watery either. The second sip feels fuller, thicker, and closer to fruit juice. If they make nectarine juice, this is close to it (and if they do not, why not?) Chewing adds fruits, namely darker plums and even tangerines, the latter sweet enough to be close to fruit jellies. Finish: pure crayon with a horseradish kick. Black, brown, or purple crayons, earthy, rubbery, vaguely fruity. That fruit is now desiccated plum peels, or nectarine skins. It sticks to the top of the gob, despite not feeling long or big. Just a pleasant warmth, as well as a distant bitterness -- that of fruit foliage, it appears. The second gulp does not deviates much. It does occupy a wider space with repeated sipping, as one may expect, and offers chewy crayons at the death.

A very refreshing drink, easy to sip with or without water. I ordered one in a Scottish bar and they said why drink a ladies whisky. Well I think they might have something, the ladies would love it.

Exceptional Value

I was looking for a good single malt daily drinker under £50 and this did not disappoint, in fact, it was under £40!!! - punches well above its price point. I bought this on a deal and couldnt find it cheaper elsewhere.
