Product description
Tobermory Distillery, based on the Isle of Mull, produces two distinct single malts – the entirely unpeated Tobermory and the heavily peated Ledaiga.
The plant experienced several long production breaks in the 20th century, but it was not until it was taken over by Burn Stewart Distillers in 1993 that it began to achieve notable success. Although production ceased in March 2017, the break was forced by a general renovation of the buildings, the replacement of stills and the enlargement of the reception hall. The project was completed two years later. In recent years, Tobermory has offered several exquisite limited editions, including the 17-year-old presented here. The whisky, distilled in 2004, was aged in Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at cask strength (55.9% abv) in 2021.

Finish: quite long, with notes of roasted almonds and nuts, cocoa, red berries, salted caramel, ginger, pepper and oak.
