Tobermory 12 Year Old is the flagship unpeated expression from the Isle of Mull’s only distillery. Released in 2019 to mark the relaunch of the distillery’s core range, this single malt is matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and bottled at a robust 46.3% ABV, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. It offers a vibrant, fruity, and maritime style that perfectly captures the character of this small Hebridean island.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Natural amber gold.
Nose: Bright and inviting. Aromas of lemon zest, ripe apple, pear drops, vanilla cream, soft floral notes, and a touch of salty sea breeze.
Palate: Medium-bodied and lively. Flavours of fresh citrus, honeyed malt, juicy stone fruits, creamy vanilla, and subtle oak spice. A crisp mineral edge and a gentle coastal salinity add complexity and depth.
Finish: Long, clean, and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus peel, sweet malt, and a faint whisper of sea air.
Serving Suggestions: Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to highlight its bright fruit and coastal freshness. Exceptionally versatile — pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, citrus-driven desserts, or as a crisp, refreshing dram on its own.
