Product details
The Tobermory 27 Year Old, the grand finale in the acclaimed Hebridean Series, stands as a tribute to the Isle of Mull’s enduring maritime heritage and the timeless strength of Duart Castle, a historic beacon for seafarers navigating the Sound of Mull. This remarkable single malt began its life in ex-bourbon casks—originally part of the beloved Tobermory 15 Year Old—before being re-casked for an additional 12 years in exquisite González Byass Oloroso Sherry casks. The result is a whisky that not only celebrates nearly three decades of patient maturation but also honors Mull’s legacy of warmth, resilience, and global connection.
On the nose, this whisky opens with indulgent aromas of cinnamon-laced pastries, sweet apricots, dried figs, and toasted oak, uplifted by a twist of orange zest. The palate reveals a rich spread of marmalade and cinnamon spice, unfolding into layers of fig rolls, blackcurrant, brambles, and honey-roasted nuts, all gently wrapped in treacle toffee. The long, elegant finish lingers with notes of red berry compote, fresh mandarin, and a warming pinch of nutmeg. Decadent and complex, Tobermory 27 is best savored neat, perhaps alongside roasted game, aged cheeses, or a dark chocolate tart for an exceptional pairing.
