What they say:
This is That Boutique-y Whisky Company’s fourth batch of unpeated Tobermory single malt. You can tell it’s unpeated because the Alan Partridge character called Pete has a red line through his face as a bunch of torches attached to a bicycle wheel and some car hazards provide lighting and pyrotechnics.
This is a release of 162 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Nose:
Malted milk, ripe pear, bath salts and rubbed mint leaves.
Palate:
Sweet malt and more fragrant fruit (peaches and plums) and oak.
Finish:
Rusks and Mr. Kipling Chocolate Chip Cake Bars.
What I say:
Dram#5 from The Dram Team Incredible Indies tasting set is a 21 year old Tobermory expression bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company
Colour:
Antique gold (8/20), medium-small tears leave long fine legs
Nose:
Fruity, apple, pear, peach, nectarine, in a polished ancient oak wood fruit bowl, coconut cream, vanilla
Taste:
Biscuit malt, coconut / nice biscuits, apple peels, salty; with water, a mass of chocolate and honey
Finish:
Medium-long, salted apple peels
Overall:
Delicious in lots of ways, great nose, great palate – shame the two don’t match but that doesn’t detract any from the drinking experience
Score: 89/100
