The subtle maritime influence of sea salt and campfire embers are not overpowered by the lovely sweet sherry notes. With a hint of figs, orange marmalade and rich fruit cake. The finish is softly spicy. Surprisingly well balanced and well worth trying.
Tobermory Distillery established in 1798 by John Sinclair a local merchant. It is situated at the northeastern end of the Island of Mull set in the attractive village of Tobermory home to the ancestral seat of Clan Maclaren. History has it a Spanish galleon, either the Florencia or the San Juan Sicillia while trying to escape the fleet of Elizabeth 1st after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 exploded and sank 400 yards of the Tobermory Harbour. It is rumoured that the ship went down carrying a fortune in gold bullion. Each year treasure hunters come to the island in search of great treasure to no avail as the ship has never been found.
The unique and alluring nature of Single Cask releases means we cannot bring you the same delightful elixirs again and again – once the whisky is gone, it’s gone for good. The expressions live as a fragment of the past, never to be repeated.
We invite you to delve into our whisky archives. Explore past releases and bask in amber nostalgia, accompanied with distillery history and tasting notes from Mr. Hart himself.
Hart Brothers can trace their origins in the licensed trade back to the late 19th century when the family were licensed victuallers and publicans in Paisley, the mill town on the outskirts of Glasgow. It was not until 1964 that brothers Iain & Donald Hart incorporated the company as Wine & Spirit Wholesalers and Scotch Whisky Blenders.
Alistair Hart joined the company in 1975 and it was his responsibility as chief blender to source vintage casks of single malt whisky that were not readily available through any specialist whisky shop or online whisky site. Today, we continue to secure special and rare malt and grain whiskies that are further matured and only selected for single cask bottling after careful tasting and consideration.
We always pride ourselves on continuing the spirit of excellence by offering some of the finest single malt scotch whisky available through our selected distributors overseas.
We make sure our customers can best share with us the single malt scotch whisky experience which is why we add nothing to the malt whisky other than the purest water. Today, we pride ourselves on continuing the spirit of excellence by offering some of the finest single malt scotch whisky available through our selected distributors overseas.
