來自Tobermory的另一佼佼者，展現出雪莉桶熟成的特質，使傳統的粗曠勁道轉為圓潤仍保持其勁道，再次展現出精緻的島嶼威士忌與二次填充雪莉桶之間良好的相互作用。Tobermory經典的油脂、泥土和植物風味不容錯認，並具有非常飽滿的酒體。甘草、些許令人聯想起海洋的焦油氣息，以及雪莉桶所帶來的果香：葡萄乾與淡淡桃子和糖漬橙皮使威士忌的風味更上一層樓。精緻而複雜，Tobermory永遠是一款強而有力的威士忌。

Another winner from Tobermory, this time in a more mature expression that smoothens (but doesn’t completely tame) the edges of the traditionally robust and bold spirit, and which once more showcases the good interplay of this fine island malt with the flavours of second fill sherry casks. The typically oily character of Tobermory and its earthy and vegetal flavours are unmistakable, backed by a very muscular body. Liquorice, a hint of tarry boat coating (as if to remind of the maritime influence), and then of course the winey fruitiness from the sherry cask: it’s not loud and tannic, but it enhances the malt with notes of sultana raisins, a lively hint of peachy sourness, and candied orange peel. Refined and complex, but not wimpy, because Tobermory will always be a strong-hearted malt.
