My tasting experience is a vastly different one from the one already on this page, which is why I would like to share it.
The first tasting brought a sense of harshness, almost like some of the cheaper blended whiskies carry with them along with a strange taste, somewhat sweet but not quite there. But having had the bottle opened for a while, this Tobermory started growing and growing in a way I have not experienced more radically (well, maybe with an Ardbeg once). It is clearly a Whisky from the islands, as much as it is flowery where the others are salty and fragrant where those are more distinctly down to earth. It has developed a roundness that is spectacular full of both wind and consistency. I fall in love with that greenish bottle over and over again...
2005
The nose is discrete, revealing some malty and fruity hints, on a slightly smoky background.
In the palate, a fruity impression on a woody background, the whole being "washed-out" and whith little character.
The finish is rather indifferent, short and essentially marked by slight fruity hints.
2006The Tobermory distillery is the only one of the Isle of Mull. It is difficult to compare its whisky to the one of its neighbours. A whisky with character, but not to compare with those of the neighbouring island, Islay. No dominating peat nor smoke. Very fine fragrances and a too short finish. A very interesting experience. An important bottle...
2003At the second tasting, the nose was rather discrete, with sweet malty and fruity notes. The taste is marked by ripe sugared fruits (pear or peach). A short finish with some malt hints.
2004A mix of ripe fruit and flowers characterises the nose and some hints of marshmallow and honey appear after a while.
The mouth is very smooth and not really complex. Essentially ripe fruit. Pleasant but quite straight away.
The finish is smooth and prolongs the mouth.
