Tobermory 2013 9 Year (The Cooper's Choice)

Cooper's Choice offers a wide range of single cask releases, this one a young Tobermory finished in a Madeira cask. The nose opens up with butterscotch, peaches and soft vanilla, rounded off by thyme, ginger and a whiff of sea breeze. Spiced oranges, lemon and hints of salt unfold on the palate before it turns quite juicy, featuring marmalade, peppercorn and coffee. Eclectic notes of pink grapefruit, bitter honey and peppermint conclude the long and zesty aftertaste. This malt packs a punch, highlighting some intriguing flavors off the beaten track.
