- Description
- Tobermory's 1996 spirit matured in a refill hogshead for 21 years, retaining the Island distillery's characteristic balance between maritime minerality and subtle peat. The profile leans toward orchard fruits, gentle smoke, and creeping briny notes, with the wood adding gentle vanilla and spice touches. Texture is medium-bodied and clean, with a dry maritime finish that speaks to Tobermory's island location. A restrained, elegant dram for those who prefer understated Island character over heavily peated expressions.
