The Tobermory 18yo Ex-Bourbon Casks is an exquisite single malt whisky from the historic Tobermory distillery, nestled on the picturesque Isle of Mull, which is renowned for its windy climate on Scotland's western coast. Established in 1798, Tobermory is one of Scotland's oldest active distilleries, having weathered changes in ownership and periods of closure. Since 1993, the distillery has been part of Burn Stewart Distillers Ltd. This 18-year-old single malt is a rare gem, limited to only 3,000 bottles. It stands out as one of six distinguished bottles in the series. The whisky spends its first 17 years maturing in ex-bourbon casks on the mainland, before being finished for an additional year in the same casks on the island, where it benefits from the unique maritime climate. Bottled unchill-filtered at 46.3% ABV, this expression truly captures the essence of its environment. On the nose, Tobermory 18 Years Old offers a light, fresh, and floral aroma, accompanied by delightful notes of oak, honey, and vanilla. The palate reveals a complex interplay of maple syrup, sea salt, and bright fruits like honeydew melon and pineapple, reminiscent of Haribo candies. A subtle hint of marzipan adds depth. The finish is sweet yet slightly salty, with lingering pineapple notes that lead to a dry conclusion. Each bottle in this series includes a collector's leaflet with a tear-off tab. Collectors who gather all six tabs can enter a prize draw to win an exclusive bottle of Tobermory 42 Year Old.
