Nowadays m all in in some Island Whiskies that flew under my radar in my first years of this whisky adventure. One of those is Tobermory, who has a sister distillery, Ledaig.
Well, i managed to get my hands on a wonderful and very limited 14 year old Tobermory Marsala Cask Finish, which is one of my favorite whisky maturations; bottled at 56.3%abv; one of only 288 ever made.
On the nose, it is so fruity and crazy. Starts with watermelon juice. Talcum powder; wet clothed, grapes and liquid paper. Lotion. After a couple of sips, the aroma changed into a milk chocolate; meat and a fruit market. It is so all over the place!. Merthiolate.
On the palate, pure perfection. Watermelon, papaya and a pepper bomb. Simply spectacular, creamy milk chocolate.
Aftertaste follows the palate, also achieving a perfect score here. Milk chocolate, watermelon, red chilli and some metallic notes. It is like a Ninja Kick made of watermelon, directed to your face. Amazing.
Overall, everytime i have a whisky that is so good as this one, i regret having shared it in my tasting events, lol. Wonderful, interesting because of its crazy, not-usual tasting and aroma notes; if you ever see this bottle, you have to buy it, no matter what. An incredible single malt, my score for it is 95 over 100.
