Released in 2013, this fabulous bottling from Tullibardine sees the rich, malty whisky finished for 12 months in top-quality 500-litre sherry butts. The result is something to behold.
Spiced, aromatic nose with notes of dark brown sugar and toffee apples.
Cooked fruit, cinnamon and manuka honey. Dates and hints of allspice.
Long, creamy finish with butterscotch and ground almonds.
A thick, creamy whisky with a spiced, chocolate-y edge.
A little too bland and a little too creamy for my palate
My wife got me a bottle for Christmas and i was a bit unsure as its NAS but i must admit its very tasty. Its 43 percent but its got a very sweet butterscotch on the nose. I think if your a diehard traditionalist you might not approve of this. Its quite burny and the balance is overwhelmingly on the sweet side from the bourban cask enhanced with Sherry. If you enjoy a good sipping whisky that you can drink away at, its very pleasant.
I love my highland single malts. But this dram is over priced and bland. Nose smells sweet like a cheap bourbon and the taste is about as bland as a handful of fresh snow. Sorry I wasted my money I could have gotten a much better whisky for the price.
Outstanding wee dram
Wow, bought this on impulse. I'm a lover of sherry monsters but generally avoid nas whisky. Not as smooth as my usual tipple (BenRiach 15 PX) but satisfyingly rich with strong Molasses and Christmas cake notes. Sweet and creamy with a long after taste of winter spice and toffee. A touch hot but I've only just opened it so it may mellow a little. This represents great value for money.
