Whisky Reviews for Tobermory 1996 WM

6 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 86.66 points

  1. wncvirus scored this whisky 86 points Expert Senior

    Nose: Some smoke, spices, sweet notes.
    Taste: Light notes of smoke. Unfortunately, noticeable alcohol. Quite aggressive and spicy. The taste becomes flatter after adding water.

    Rating: 86/100 Finish long but too alcoholic. Well, it wasn't some great Tobermory. I have already drunk much better bottles from this distillery

    Note by Wilson & Morgan;

    A new release in our very appreciated series of powerful Tobermories at cask strength, to once again show how intense and unusual this overlooked distillery can be. Don’t expect a sherry monster, because the wood influence is deliberately kept restrained to avoid clashing with the quirky flavours of the malt. This bottling is a perfect example of a particularly waxy Tobermory, and we might also say that it’s noticeably smokier (more on notes of charcoal than peat) than expected, almost like a Ledaig. The usual flamboyant notes of propolis, camphor, and the leafy and robust malty style of the distillery really shine through. To be enjoyed neat for full power or, for more subtlety.
