Matured in a refill oak hogshead and bottled at 47% ABV without chill filtration, the whisky reflects a refined balance between maritime freshness, mature malt complexity, and softly evolving oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coastal air, honeyed malt, orchard fruits, vanilla cream, soft oak spice, and gentle citrus oils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elegant and lightly waxy with sweet barley, poached pear, lemon peel, vanilla, toasted oak, and subtle maritime notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, clean, and softly drying with lingering malt sweetness, oak spice, citrus, and coastal character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Island, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tobermory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottler:\u003c\/strong\u003e Master of Malt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Release No.246\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistilled:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 1995\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottled:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refill Oak Hogshead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiltration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-Chill Filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 146 of 312\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottle Only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Bottling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIndependent Tobermory releases from the 1990s have developed a strong following among enthusiasts seeking the distillery’s older island style before its modern resurgence. Mature refill cask expressions such as this often highlight Tobermory’s subtle coastal complexity, waxy texture, and elegant fruit-forward spirit character without overwhelming oak influence. Limited releases from Master of Malt’s numbered bottling series have become increasingly difficult to source in well-preserved condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eArchive Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all product images carefully.
