Tobermory 2008 14 Year Red Wine Matured

Nose: Rich wine scent, with notes of grapes, sugared orange rind, and malt. Water brings out flower scents. Palate: A sweet, warm, wine-like entry. Flavors of red berries, dried grapes, deep chocolate, rich honey, and concentrated orange. Diluting it calms the warmth and introduces subtle oak spice. Finish: Lingering for a medium-to-short duration. Orange and grape juice notes. The finish is sweet. A delightful whisky, though not exceptional. The sample was part of a four-bottle collection acquired at the distillery, and this was among the superior offerings. 83/100 (3.5 stars)

I found this one difficult to pinpoint. It's worth sampling because it's unique. Even its reddish color makes it stand out. Make no mistake: you'll taste red wine on the nose and palate. As expected, it has an earthy, red fruit quality. A syrupy sweetness lingers after the finish.
