On the nose, delicate notes of dried fruits, raisins and figs, are intertwined with warm baking spices, including cinnamon and nutmeg. Subtle hints of orange zest add a citrusy brightness, while a gentle wisp of oak lingers in the background, a testament to its long ageing process.
The palate is enveloped in a velvety embrace of flavour. Sweetness and spice blend in perfect harmony, as rich caramel and toffee mingle with the warmth of cloves and ginger. The sherry influence comes through, imparting layers of dark chocolate and candied nuts, while a touch of vanilla adds a hint of sweetness.
On the finish dried fruits and oak linger on the palate, inviting another sip…
Serve a bowl of roasted almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans alongside your dram of Tobermory 26-year-old. The nuttiness of the whisky harmonizes with the toasted flavours of the nuts, while the sweetness of the sherry cask finish enhances their natural richness.
