Tobermory 1995 MM

air Nose

clean, crisp peat, very Ardbeggish. Lots of smoke, dry seaweed and crystallized lemons. Notes of toasted cake, kumquats, buttered caramel, cooked apples… Perfect young Islayer, not complex but the balance is perfect smoother than expected, tasting much older than it actually is. Complex, peaty and smoky, coastal… Develops on dried oranges, earl grey tea, kumquats again, smoked tea, dried pears, small bitter oranges… Extremely enjoyable and quite subtle, just like a much older Ardbeg (something of the 17yo). Medium long finish, smooth and lingering, with quite some salt… An excellent surprise! 89 points. MUSIC – Recommended listening: if you like Manu Chao, the Mano Negra and all their 'school' you'll probably like Peru's Novalima too. Today they're doing Bandolero.mp3 (nothing to do with the Gipsy Kings) - please buy their music!
