Tobermory Aged 12 Years Review
The price point of this Tobermory release is certainly on the higher end of the spectrum for a 12-year-old Scotch, but its remarkable profile more than justifies that lofty sum. Wisps of apple and pineapple tango with fresh flowers on the nose before evolving into candied ginger, crème brûlée, and decadent caramel on the palate. Each sip seems more vibrant than the last. Tobermory may be the only distillery on the Isle of Mull, but it’s an outstanding one, to say the least, and this whisky is a fine example of its prowess.
