Tobermory 24 Years – Hebridean sequence
Tobermory distillery introduced a 24 12 months Previous expression. The ‘return of an outdated buddy’, this spirit was initially our Tobermory 15 12 months Previous launch. They left the whisky in its Oloroso casks for 9 extra years. It’s the first of 5 yearly whiskies within the Hebridean Collection.
I ponder how that is totally different from their 23 12 months outdated and why they now insist on making a sequence round it with no explicit theme. Distilleries would do something to encourage gathering, proper?
