Tobermory 11yo "Masters of Magic", by High Spirits

My last review of the amazing "Masters of Magic" collection, is one pompous name: Tobermory. This island distillery also produce a wonderful single malt called Ledaig. This time; the label shows again the great Master of all magicians, the inspiration behind nowadays big names like Copperfield or Chris Angel; it is no other than the Great Kellar. Kellar of course, founded an university for magicians, where they could learn some impressive tricks like the flying princess of Karnak. Well, this label shows us Kellar learning his tricks from a group of small devils, the alleged source for his magic knowledge. This is an 11yo Tobermory, bottled at 46%abv. On the nose, some crazy peat notes. Rubber car tires, socks and something i can describe as a swampy rainforest. After a first sip, i got yeast, plastic and water balloons. Wet paint is an accurate aroma note for this one. On the palate, just three well delivered notes. Coal, smoke and cigarrettes. Peaty stuff Aftertaste follows the peat trail. Earthy, ashes, bonfire. Not to long and slightly salty. Overall, this was the peatiest of the four expressions i had, but also, the less complex one. I like peaty whiskies and i am a fan of tobermory, but this one fell short in comparison with the rest of the releases i had the pleasure to taste. My score for this one was a honest 87 over 100.
