Tobermory 10 Year Old (old presentation)

Tobermory is the only distillery on the Isle of Mull. I have heard differing opinions on the 10 year expression although universally the 15 seems popular. I thought I would try a bottle and see which side of the fence I would fall on.

In the glass it looks slightly oily and is very pale in colour, the lightest shade of pale straw.

The nose is honey, oak, citrus, floral and grassy.

Sweet honey upfront which is swiftly replaced by a salty oak tang. There are hints of fruit but these are masked fairly effectively.

There is a short salty finish.

For those that like the style I'm sure it's very good. I for one am not a huge fan and along with Old a Pulteney WK217 I can see its merits but they just don't ring my bell.
