Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jan 1992
Distilled at Tullibardine in 1992 and aged for 14 years before being bottled in 2006.
The nose is quite light and soft. There are notes of barley sugar and a soft wood smoke, hints of toasted cereals and cut hay with winter berries and their requisite acidity. There are some hoppy notes with a gristy character and something vaguely vegetal with a caramel sweetness. The palate is a little fuller and richer. There are notes of freshly made fruit salad with esters and a very juicy character. Notes of pineapple, guava, mango and Bartlett pear, hints of apple blossom and winter spice with a fresh hay note and a touch of dried peel. The finish is long and quite fresh with a touch of oaken warmth.
