Every year I try to find a malt whisky to enjoy over the festive period, but unfortunately I have found that many have been disappointing and do not live up to their reviews - or perhaps my palate differs from those of the professional reviewers. This year I started to sample a few earlier, and chanced upon this 12-year old.
This is the one for me! I love its taste, well-rounded, fruity and spicy. It is so smooth that it glides rather than dances over my palate, but leaves an amazing aftertaste. In addition, at around £40 per bottle it is superb value for money.
For those who, like me, are not fans of peaty whiskies and prefer something more seductive, I cannot rate this highly enough. I have had to lock it away for the next two weeks, and for once I am impatient for the festive season to arrive!
I may glance at, and even sample, other single malts from time to time, but from now I shall always remain faithful to Tobermory 12. My deepest thanks to all those responsible for this wonderful creation.
