A majestic aged expression from Scotland’s only distillery on the Isle of Mull, Tobermory 21 Year Old is gently matured in ex‑bourbon casks before finishing in select Oloroso sherry casks, then bottled at 46.3% ABV, non‑chill‑filtered and with natural colour. This latest core range release brings forward coastal elegance, layered sweetness, and refined oak depth.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Deep amber‑gold with rich warmth.
Nose: A beautifully integrated bouquet of marzipan, hazelnuts, treacle, toffee, red berries, subtle sea breeze, and gentle spice.
Palate: Luxuriously smooth—notes of cherry wood, brown sugar, sticky toffee, caramelised pineapple, rich sultanas, orange peel, warming ginger, and a hint of leather.
Finish: Long, fresh, and balanced—salty‑sweet echoes of salted caramel, citrus zest, gentle oak tannins, and enduring warmth.
Serving Suggestions: Best served neat or with a few drops of water to unmask hidden layers of vanilla‑spice and oak fruit. A sublime contemplative dram—excellent paired with fine dark chocolate, rich fruitcake, or smoked nuts.
