Tobermory The Ballad of the Blue Men Port And Oloroso Casks 56.4%

Nose: A beautifully layered bouquet of ripe red berries, plum compote, and soft citrus zest, intertwined with notes of honeyed malt and toasted almonds. Hints of dried fruit, gentle oak spice, and a touch of coastal sea breeze add depth and character.

Palate: Silky and full, showcasing a harmonious balance between the rich, fruity sweetness of Tawny Port and the nutty, spiced elegance of Oloroso sherry. Waves of fig, cherry, and chocolate mingle with caramelised orange, cinnamon, and a touch of maritime minerality.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of dark fruit, sweet oak, and a whisper of sea salt.

Tobermory distillery is situated in the vibrant heart of the main town of Tobermory on the Inner Hebridean island of Mull. It is a distillery that has a long history dating back to 1798 when it was founded by John Sinclair. The Great Depression in the 1930’s saw demand for its whisky fall dramatically leading to a forty year closure. When the distillery reopened its name interchanged between Ledaig and Tobermory. Interestingly the land leased to build the distillery was know as Ledaig, its name deriving from there. The distillery has undergone a fantastic refurbishment by its new owners Distell who produce single malt under the Tobermory distillery name. Ledaig single malt showcases their distinct popular peated style releases. In 2021 ‘The Hebridean’ was introduced which was the start of an exciting limited series. The first in this series was a 23 year old with an 8 years finish in oloroso casks.
