Tobermory 17 Year Old 2003 Madeira Cask Finish
Tobermory
Tasting Notes
Imagine indulging in a liquid symphony crafted by the masters at Tobermory. Distilled in 2003 and patiently aged for 17 years, this exquisite single malt whisky took an extraordinary journey. After a prolonged slumber in refill hogsheads, it underwent a four-year finishing period in ex-Madeira casks, bestowing upon it a captivating character. The enchanting aroma embraces you with notes of sweet clove-studded oranges, oily oak, and delicate floral tea, complemented by hints of gloopy toffee and velvety clotted cream. On the palate, a harmonious dance unfolds as nutty malt and maple syrup intertwine with creamy pastel de nata, leading to zesty citrus peels and juicy sultanas. Warming root ginger lingers beneath, adding depth and intrigue. The finish is a captivating encore, where stewed prunes and raisins mingle with prickles of pepper, aromatic baking spices, and distant leather, leaving a lasting impression on your senses.
