Tobermory 23 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish

This expression serves as the grand inaugural release in the distillery's award-winning Hebridean Series, which celebrates the colorful coastal architecture and vibrant spirit of their hometown on the Isle of Mull. Interestingly, this liquid was originally a batch of the beloved, discontinued Tobermory 15 Year Old launched back in 2008; the distillery chose to leave the remaining stock resting inside its Oloroso casks for an additional 8 years to create this 23-year-old masterpiece.

Brief Tasting Notes
An extended finish in dark Oloroso wood transforms Tobermory's unpeated, robust distillate into a deeply sweet, jammy dram balanced perfectly by the distillery's signature maritime breeze.

• Nose: Vanilla, ripe oranges, toasted barley and rich fruitcake, with a hint of cocoa. It yields an aromatic tapestry of caramelized dates, roasted walnuts, and blackcurrant jam
• Palate: Obvious sherry influence, salted toffee, vanilla fudge and spicy oak, with candied citrus and floral honey. The mouthfeel is thick, displaying hints of melted butter with a distinct salty tang
• Finish: Caramelized walnuts with a subtle salty undercurrent, melting away smoothly into vanilla tablet, milk chocolate, and drying oak wood spice
