Portrait: What makes the Tobermory 12 year old special
The Tobermory 12 year old is a high-quality single malt whisky with an alcohol content of 46.3%vol., bottled in the classic 0.7-liter bottle. It comes from the Tobermory Distillery, the only distillery on the Scottish island of Mull, which is part of the Inner Hebrides. The distillery was founded in 1798 and looks back on a long, eventful history, marked by several closures and reopenings.
Since 2019, the 12-year-old Tobermory has been the official successor to the distillery's popular 10-year-old whisky. Its launch also marked a new beginning after a two-year production hiatus during which the distillery underwent extensive modernization. This single malt is non-chill-filtered and retains its natural color, making it particularly interesting for lovers of authentic whiskies.
Maturation takes place in carefully selected ex-bourbon casks, which give the whisky structure and depth over the years. Tobermory stands for artisanal production, a clear origin, and a close connection to Mull's maritime surroundings - a whisky with character and history, ideal for connoisseurs who appreciate Scottish distilling.
Tasting Notes: This is what the Tobermory 12 year old tastes like
- Nose: Very fruity in the aroma with distinctly ripe apples and pears, along with juicy peaches - with a hint of cream, brown cane sugar, and cinnamon, with fresh pastries in the background
- Palate: Oily with soft malt notes, becoming fruitier again behind, now primarily cherries and plums
- Finish: Medium finish with hints of toffee and butterscotch, alongside fresh orange juice and ripe dates - all overlaid with a light oak spice

Trotz 2 Jahre mehr auf dem Buckel, nicht der Hit wie der 10-er. Dennoch ein toller Malt mit maritimer Note.

Ein außergewöhnlicher Single Malt von Tobermory, weil man zugleich süße und saure Noten wahrnehmen kann. Trotzdem irgendwie lecker!

Überwiegend fruchtig-süß, ein bisschen ölig im Abgang... nicht verkehrt aber auch nicht beeindruckend.
