Two bourbon hogsheads were used to create this latest small batch release from Scotland's oldest Independent Scotch whisky bottler, WM Cadenhead. This single malt Scotch whisky was distilled at the Tobermory distillery in 1995, aged for 21 years before being bottled in 2016, at cask strength, 52.5%.
Tasting Notes
Tobermory 21 Year Old - 1995 | Abbey Whisky Tasting Notes
Appearance: Very pale, white wine.
Nose: Fresh, floral, delicate. Grapefruit, gooseberries. Green apples. Traces of vanilla.
Palate: Green apples again, but lots of yeasty, cheesy, slightly sweaty feints. Digestive biscuits. Echoes of new make – astonishing considering the age.
Finish: Lots of black pepper, with feints showing.
Tobermory 21 Year Old - 1995 | Small Batch Producer Tasting Notes
Nose: Salty; waxed leather and salted pork. A little smoke and drying.
Palate: The saltiness continues and a slight smokiness emerges with undertones of custard creams and a short waxy note.
Finish: Ash, dry, cooked fruits, peppery, salted popcorn and digestive biscuit notes.
