A writer described this Tobermory as the 'Freddy Krueger of sherried whiskies,' so let's imagine the Isle of Mull! This 33-year-old 'serial killer,' distilled in 1972 and bottled in 2006, presents an aroma of aged leather, roasted coffee beans, and strong balsamic vinegar. It's highly concentrated, vinous, and heavy, almost like thick blood. The palate explodes with intense wood spices, plums, and dark chocolate, concluding with a dry, gingery finish featuring bitter bay leaves and hints of espresso. Undoubtedly, a formidable sherry bomb. RATING: 4.5/5.0 stars ≙ 91 pts → SUPERB
