- Description
- Distilled in 1995, this Tobermory aged first in bourbon cask before re-racking into French wine barrique for its final years, creating a 20-year expression bottled at 46% ABV with an outturn of 357 bottles. The bourbon-to-wine progression builds complexity while preserving the distillery's characteristic briny, slightly oily character. Ideal for those exploring how wood finishes can layer dimension onto island whisky.
