It says Tobermory on the label, but it tastes closer to Ledaig, so medium- peat Tober', or a Ledaig without bristles? Time in an octave has slightly tamed the beast. Besides traces of lanolin, most of those earthy ‘dirty’ notes retreat; Sherry lingers with bittersweet fruit’n'nut chocolate. Like Ledaig, this ruffles up the tastebuds; Unwieldy and raucous, it's a whisky that never quite settles into rhythm or form. 69 bottles from an oloroso sherry octave. 53.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill-filtered. Tasted from a 30ml sample.
