Tasting Notes
"The nose is quite earthy with a hint of sweet malt and vanilla custard, but also some orange zest. Just a tinge of copper coins and plenty of minerality. The prominent barley notes on the palate are accompanied by vibrant citrus flavors, quickly followed by a hit of oak shavings and spices—this is were the virgin oak makes its presence known. Rather rich and pretty well put together, this Tobermory is a wonderful introduction to the distillery."
