Mull it over. That’s what you got. HONEY. Pleasant nose with earth, and floral hints. A mild wake up burn, then a taste of unpasturized honey that makes you want to pop the toast up! Hazelnut, carmel and licorice to finish. Wet leather. Peat. And a low level smoke. Lighter tahn many peat favourites but sure to please with a long lasting grip on the taste buds. A great slow sipper.
From Tobermorey distillery. Isle of Mull. 10 Years undisturbed but for the angels.
Keep yer hied on this one!

The Lagavulin is a beauty of a distillery without doubt and its sixteen year-old single malt is an outstanding selection easy to find and worth every penny. The Lagavulin distillery is in the Islay region so it’s all about peat and the sea, and the 16 year, generally considered their flagship Scotch, serves up an ample amount of both. Lagavulin keeps good company in Islay, nestled between Ardbeg and Laphroaig. You can’t really take a wrong turn there.
Scotch. A fantastic whisky. Whisky a word that, like a picture, is worth at least 1000 words. One of those words is Bowmore, and in many ways it is synonymous with scotch. The 12 YR sampled bringing to the fore, all of the things that should be present in a great scotch. The nose is carmel, smoke, a light peat, leather and wood. The first taste, a warm welcome as the alcohol says HELLO to the tastebuds, then the flavours hit, with carmel, and a whole lot more words to come…..
