Whisky Online Auctions Tasting Notes: Tobermory Cask #39

Colour: White Wine

Nose: A fresh and surprisingly medicinal Tobermory. Lots of bandages, oatmeal, linen, ointments, sourdough and a rather taught salinity. Leans towards a mineral profile with time. Some notes of hessian, lamp oil and coal smoke emerge. Surprisingly clean and characterful. Some salty porridge notes along with lemon peel and baking soda. Very good!

Palate: Chalky minerals, white stone fruits and lemon oils at first. A rather even texture and notes of olive oil, rice crackers, oatcakes, lime zest and lychee syrup. This medicinal side comes through again in the form of throat sweets and cough medicine. A soothing, mentholated quality emerges. Some hints of mouthwash, soda bread and herbal ointments.

Finish: Long, lemony, yeasty, earthy and slightly brittle with these mineral notes of beach pebbles, crushed sea shells, sand and mustard powder. Rather powerful in fact, with a sustained, herbal aftertaste.

Comments: A really excellent, characterful Tobermory. Devoid of any of this distillery's usual problematic cardboard or overly mashy or grainy notes. This is lean, medical, muscular and well-defined. The kind of cask which is ready to bottle now and should prove a delightful and surprising dram to most drinkers.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, this is not comprehensive and is based on a brief overview. Most items will be described as good or fair, this does not mean it will not exhibit wear or tear. We do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen.

Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in any circumstance. All bottles are checked for authenticity by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.

No item is deemed new and may exhibit wear or tear, however many items are generally in good condition. If an item has notable faults, we will make every effort to mention these in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be on this page.

All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to provide a condition report or date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should not place a bid and notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly.
