Tobermory 23-year-old The Hebridean Series Bottled 2020

Remarks:
the current price is absolutely not justified for what is offered. The nose is much too closed and, on the palate, and finish it is not particularly complex. Disregarding the price, it’s a beautiful malt. However, at a blind tasting I would not estimate it by the age. It gives the impression that exhausted barrels were used here for maturation

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

• Nose: 86/100 points
  subtle, pleasant sherry note, dried fruits, plums. Slightly spicy in the background. Orange peel is combined with light oak notes. All in all, however, rather cautious.
  
  
• Taste: 86/100 points
  On the palate rather spicy, oak, slightly dried fruits, later more citrus fruits. Becoming bitter towards the end
  
  
• Finish: 86/100 points
  The citrus fruits come very clearly here. Quite spicy, oak, a little malty, bitter.
