- Description
- Tobermory's 2016 vintage matured for eight years with an 18-month Amarone finish, adding Italian wine's dark plum and dried-cherry notes to the Island malt's maritime foundation. The cask influence brings sweetness and warmth without obscuring the distillery's underlying salinity and orchard character. At cask strength from Unkiltered Spirits (369 bottles, 2024), it balances approachability with complexity. Perfect for winter evenings, where the Amarone finish's warmth complements cooler weather.
