Tobermory, 26-Year-Old, Island, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (49.2%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
At first glance, you see clearly how the Oloroso cask has impacted the dram by its dark amber colour. The nose is a delicious mix of orange peel, cocoa and a hint of butterscotch. The first sip is an utter joy with a moreish creaminess. Raspberries, prunes and more distinct honey-roasted hazelnuts lead to a lengthy finish, where nutmeg and dark chocolate linger on. Immensely complex and by far for me the best one from this series.

Tobermory Distillery, Isle of Mull
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
