Inspired by hundreds of miles of breathtaking Scottish coastline and sea air, Tobermory Distillery created a limited edition, 24-Year-Old whisky with an Oloroso cask finish.
It’s the first whisky to be created under Cara Gilbert, one of the world’s youngest distillery managers at just 28, who last year was appointed head of Tobermory Distillery.
Released from the Isle of Mull’s only whisky distillery, the 24-year maturation is said to be representative of all that’s found in the Inner Hebrides, an archipelago off the west coast of mainland Scotland.
The distiller’s notes show that being surrounded by shoreline gives Tobermory 24 its coastal characteristics and a warm, salted caramel finish.
The new expression spent the last nine years resting in the Oloroso sherry Gonzales Byass casks.
“We are incredibly proud of this new release and its deep-rooted Mull heritage,” Gilbert said in a prepared statement. “The series is inspired by the unique influences that myself and the team experience from living and working on the beautiful island, hand crafting our whiskies. One of the finest releases in our 230-year history, we know it’ll be a highly sought-after collector’s item from fans eager to enjoy a true taste of Mull.”
Tobermory 24-Year-Old will join the distiller’s portfolio along with the Tobermory 23-Year-Old, Tobermory 12-Year-Old, Ledaig 10-Year-Old, Ledaig Sinclair Series Rioja Cask Finish, and Ledaig 18-Year-Old in the distillery’s range of malts.
It’s available to purchase exclusively from Berry Bros & Rudd until March 10th when it’s available from tobermorydistillery.com. The Tobermory 24 has a suggested retail price of £320.
