Хересная бомба с заметной серно-фенольной нотой (натуральная бочка олоросо, местами почти как Ледаиг); опытные её принимают как нескучную и характерную, часть остальных отталкивает сернистость и «компостные» тона.
развернуть подробно
В аромате доминирует натуральная бочка олоросо: сера и фенольные оттенки на первом плане, следы дыма, лак, сладкие красные фрукты и леденцы, орех, миндаль, карамель, нуга, изюм и сушёная слива; масляная, плотная текстура. Во вкусе — сухой олоросо с чёрным и белым перцем, имбирём, красными ягодами, какао, лёгкой кожей и горчинкой, крепость ощутима, но спирт спрятан. Послевкусие у большинства долгое, шоколадно-ягодное, пряное с лёгкой вяжущей сухостью и щепотью соли, хотя отдельные авторы находят его коротким и «стянутым». Хвалят развитие в бокале (нужно дать подышать 20 минут), насыщенность и то, что это натуральная, не подготовленная и не восстановленная бочка.
Опытные оценивают ровнее и выше (в основном 86–89), считая серность «первой скрипкой» и достоинством, а сам виски нескучным и хорошо развивающимся; критика с их стороны мягкая — иногда теряется собственный характер Тобермори, ближе к замаскированному Ледаигу. Среди остальных разброс шире: часть ставит 87–89 за плотный херес и баланс дуба с пряностью, но появляются и низкие оценки — 60 за дезориентирующие переходы к лакрице и 82–83 за излишнюю карамельность и сдержанность во вкусе. Расхождение проходит по отношению к сере и «фермерско-компостным», забродившим тонам: для одних это изюминка, для других — гнилостность и дрожжевые хлопья, которых хватает на пробник, но не на бутылку. В остальном оценки согласованны и держатся в районе 86–88.

Gold color. Thick and oily whisky.

| Нос | 90 | Smoke traces. Varnishes sometimes appearing in distillates aged in sherry casks, followed by the characteristic notes of sweet, red fruit. Unusual combination, because generally the aroma belongs to the drier, although there are some notes of red, fruity, sweet hard candy. Dry Sherry Oloroso again. Light nut and almond aromas. Varnishes again. Alcohol does not bother, well hidden. Caramel. Sweet nut aromas, nougat. Traces of fresher fruit. More sweets on the other nose. Aromas of sweet, red flowers, even perfume. |
| Вкус | 88 | Very dry Sherry Oloroso. There is some spiciness. Black pepper. Ginger. Now the red fruit. More sweets. Slight bitterness. Distant trail of smoke. Slight leathery. Some varnishes. Cocoa. |
| Финиш | 89 | Dessert chocolate. Sweet cocoa. Red Berries. More chocolate. Mild finish, no sharpness despite high power. Trace of fruit on the background. Maybe a pinch of salt. There is a slight spice on the tongue at the second sip. White pepper or delicate ginger. Long finish. |

Not my cup of tea

Sulfur is everywhere here, only for fans of that notes.
As predicted, this is not boring.
Let this one breathe some 20 or so minutes. Fermented berries on wet dirty hay (with a bit of manure), grape skins with some grape guts, malt, citrus fruit medley (with pink grapefruit leading), and a hint of spearmint late in the finish. It's quite bitter/sour but with enough sweetness to reign it in. It's also funky/farmy. It's a bit odd, but good.

Whisky Festival Gent. You need to let it breathe. Simple and good.
Too much sulfur for my taste! Way too much sulfur.

21+ 22+ 21 22 87 - breathing sample! Cask strength, unlike the usual 46.3%, helps a lot and saturates everything, a very positive whisky! 20 22 20 21 83 - a bottle from the opening on March 03, 2022! Jam with notes of mash, dried fruits, figs, a good dessert, but only drink if you don’t smell it), and in the aftertaste the mash also catches up ...

| Нос | 85 | A bit like Highland Rider; cream, soy sauce, black bean paste, lotus seed core |
| Вкус | 86 | Moderate alcohol stimulation, lemon, soda, lotus seed heart; after waking up from the cup, the alcohol feeling slightly decreases, and candy appears. |
| Финиш | 85 | Short, faint mango, licorice, mint |
Tastes side by side with Tobermory 2005 Fino This Oloroso seems to be pretty divisive based on the Whiskybase reviews, and I can understand why. Strongly sulfury, in an egg and cabbage way. And vinegary. It’s an odd duck all around, and not to my taste. The Fino is the clear winner here, though neither is as good as the 21 Manzanilla, obviously a much pricier bottle.

The tasting unveils initial notes of fresh almonds and dried beans. Gradually, a delicate floral character emerges, only to shift abruptly towards a finish intensely dominated by liquorice. These sudden transitions somewhat disorient the palate during the tasting, ultimately leaving a mixed impression of disarray.

We find in this version all the markers of a great sherry cask such as spices, candied fruits, cinnamon. To this, we can add dates and raisins. Notes of coffee and chocolate are also present and sublime, this bouquet, half fruit, half spice with candied orange peel. A great version of Tobermory, marked by the 17 year old distillate and here even more by the sherry cask. A very beautiful fusion between the two.

Nice stuff. If you like that sulfurous base aroma. I like the sample. I don't need a whole bottle. On the nose, sweet and sour sauce. Sulfurized banana chips. Candied orange peel. Sweet and herbal on the tongue, but quickly returns to the sulfurous side with plenty of fermented dried fruit and yeast flakes. The finish is surprisingly short and simply knitted.

Sulfurous and confectionary! Old furniture, rosin, olive oil, oatmeal, young walnuts, cocoa, nougat, caramel, condensed milk! chocolate fudge, vanilla, pastry, cinnamon, sweet orange! candied fruit, sweet corn.

A nice Tobermory, it feels younger than it is, laced with sulfur, but the character is still there, peppery and recognizable, oloroso barrel is there without doubt. But the sulfur spoils the malt a little bit... I got used to the sulfur after the first sips, but it stays all the time, still nice malt tho.

Sulphurousness is the first violin of the fragrance. One feels a natural, real sherry cask, not seasoned and not STR. I have already started to forget what a natural sherry cask is - it turns out it is not the same as in Macallan 12 :) The taste is developing very well, moreover, in a positive direction. 22 23 22 22
Fruity, funky, intensive, greatly balanced. The finish is lacking, however.

| Вкус | 88 | Intense, round, full bodied, sharp, with a kick. Sweet and sour, perfectly balanced. Blast of flavours, peaches with apricots, ripe red fruits (apples, strawberries), funky, sulphury, bit of plastic/gum, dried fruits, raisins. Strong citrusy notes together with menthol. Strong minerality pops up from the back. |
| Финиш | 86 | Medium length, lacks a bit intensity and complexity. Citrusy, funky, mineral, but dirty. |

Super whisky. Walnuts, leather, dates and earthy notes

A wacky nose. Rarely have I smelled caramel in a whisky so intensely. On the palate it's a bit too tame for me. 83 points.
Gorgeous
What kind of Tobermory is this sulfurous and phenolic? Its like a ledaig masked over.

Bold sherry casks, a touch of sulphur is present but never overbearing, the nose is sherry dominant, the palate brings oak and spice to help balance. I lose the Tobermory character I find and love in the 12yr here tho.
