TASTING NOTES

NOSE
Rich, sticky black liquorice gives way to warm honeycomb and golden syrup, with hints of toasted malt and delicate almond emerging beneath. A bright lift of citrus peel comes through towards the end, bringing freshness and balance.
PALATE
Salted butter and lightly toasted oats lead into creamy banana, vanilla and a touch of baked pear. Subtle notes of almond and soft caramel add depth, while bright florals bring lift to the palate. The whisky gradually develops into generous organe marmalade, with a gentle hint of candied citrus and warm pastry.
FINISH
Soft nuttiness lingers with gentle oak spice and a delicate touch of citrus sweetness.

WHISKY CHARACTERISTICS

ABOUT

Hidden among the ancient hills of Burg lies a fairy mound, steeped in folklore and watched over by unseen guardians. Here, respect was rewarded, while intrusion was said to bring haunting music and mysterious forces. Passed down through generations, this enduring Mull legend tells of a place where the unseen world lies just beyond reach, and where those who venture too close may discover more than they bargained for. Part of our Lores of Mull collection, The Whispers of Burg brings this island tale to life through a single malt shaped by mystery, imagination and the stories woven into Mull's landscape.

CASK INFORMATION

Matured for 13 years before a finishing period in Amontillado sherry casks, this limited-edition Tobermory single malt brings together our unpeated island spirit and the influence of carefully selected casks. The finish lends a gentle nuttiness, honeyed richness and subtle warmth to the spirit, adding another layer to its character.

TASTE

A warm, golden glow of creamy sweetness and delicate florals, like fresh pastry drizzled with honey on a slow island morning. Soft orchard fruits mingle with buttery oats and toasted almonds, while bright citrus brings a lively lift, leaving a gentle trail of marmalade sweetness and warming spice.

The story of Burg gave us a fascinating starting point for this whisky. We wanted to create something that reflects that sense of mystery, with a spirit that feels inviting at first, then gradually reveals more depth and complexity. The Amontillado casks bring a lovely balance of honeyed richness, nuttiness and gentle spice, with a freshness that keeps the whisky bright. Like the folklore itself, there’s more to discover the longer you spend with it.
