Review of Tobermory 2005 12 Year Old Fino Cask Finish
Distell 2018 Malt Whisky Collection.
The
only Tobermory expression in Distell's
inaugural Malt Whisky Collection, this
Tobermory 2005 12 Year Old Fino Cask
Finish matured for a decade before
being transferred to Fino sherry
hogsheads for a further two years.
Bottled at Cask Strength, 55.1% ABV,
natural colour and non chill filtered.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Mandarin orange infused vanilla toffee
and a little sweet raisin.
Taste:
A lovely rich palate, burnt orange and
some sweet barley sugar vie for space in
every corner of the mouth, creamy toffee
and some dark chocolate. After a
few mouthfuls more juicy barley and
fruit (cherry, orange, raisins) some
vibrant oak spice in the background.
Finish: A
delicious lingering toffee'd, dried
fruit, coffee'd, spicy finale.
Comment:
A lovely rich Tobermory which gets
spicier with each mouthful and
demonstrates just how good Tobermory can
be at this age, the bottling strength
55.1% has clearly added to the flavour
and pleasure.
