Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Rich amber-gold with deep copper highlights; Oloroso sherry finish adds significant colour depth
Nose
Honeyed spice, cherry wood, brown sugar, caramelised pineapple. Dried fruit from sherry influence — fig, raisin. Rich oak, vanilla, gentle toffee. The sherry finish adds warmth and complexity to Tobermory's fruit-forward character
Palate
Full and rich — honeyed spice, cherry wood, brown sugar, caramelised pineapple. Oloroso sherry sweetness balances maritime minerality. Dried fruit, toffee, dark chocolate. Remarkably elegant for 21 years. US launch in late 2024
Finish
Very long finish. Sherry warmth, honeyed spice, cherry wood, gentle oak tannins. Dried fruit and brown sugar at close. A premium expression that marries island character with sherry refinement
