Tobermory 10 years (en)

In every competition it has to be there a year. For this session, the Tobermory10 years who took this place. Another bottle modest and very affordable (34euros), this bottle has collected once again very different notes according to the tasters: between 88 and 60. Be a large gap of 28 points. The average of all the tastings is 79.84 for this bottle.
Here are the extremes notes:


Jean-Michel
Colour: Old gold
Nose: I like it! Ripe fruit and concentration. Apricot nectar. Kiwi jam. Fruity and something like warm cake pulled out of the oven. Genoese hot. Savarin with pineapple. Many wood extracts. Vanilla ice cream with banana, cinnamon ... Very appetizing. Also something oily. Candle wax. Linseed oil.
Taste: Does not betray the nose. Even more spice, perhaps (cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla), and the same bawdy pastry and fruit. An American new oak? Non chill filtered whisky anyway, and the alcohol percentage is located in the lower range. This does not prevent the sensations in the mouth to be good. Fat and tastefully. Sweet and creamy, but maintained by a small acidity that avoids heaviness.
Final: Decline on the rose petal. Hurry! I need another sip!
Comment: A very nice malt, very consensual (and for once this is not a criticism), which by its "easy drinkable character" will satisfy any gourmand, experienced amateur or beginners.
88/100


Alouis
Color: Amber
Nose: The nose marked by sherry notes with high sulfur.
I do not like sulfur in a whisky but after 30 min of ventilation a few other flavors were discovered behind but, you still have to shop around.
So we have then caramel, sweet notes, some spice and orange.
Palate: The palate does not show sulfur, thank you.
But there is an astringency due to wood and not much more.
Short finish.
60/100
