Pale white wine color, 46.3% abv and unchill filtered. The nose has a sweet and herbaceous aroma. Funkness. Anise and fennel are the stars here, not an aroma usually associated to scotch Single Malt whisky, rather found on the best Brazilian cachaças aged on Bálsamo wood. Very unusual, but I really like it! The taste is first of all, spicy! Behind that, some sweetness and yellow fruits, although I can’t precisely point out which ones. (Melon perhaps?) The aftertaste goes on forever, leaving behind a tingle on the tongue and a herbal taste on the mouth. Great! I think that just like Springbank, Tobermory’s (and so Ledaig) distillate has a very distinct “funkness” of its own. Not for everyone for sure, but definitely for me. And there it is... another entry on the ever growing hall of the great 10 yo whiskies.
