Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Lovely soft peat, rounded with malt. Palate Medium to full body. Some treacle toffee. Cobnuts. Sherry. Winey. Coffee. Straw. Finish Woody. Less so with water. Light, dry. Comment Tullibardine is a gentle, civilised, malt that seems to live in obscurity. Nice to be reminded of its existence. Could be a golfers dram – the distillery is near Gleneagles.

Dave Broom Nose Initially perfumed: dried herb, heather honey, dried lavender, mothballs. Followed by a pleasant dunnage warehouse smell: alcohol, earth, mellow wood. Palate Dry and intensely perfumed honey and spice with fresh malt. Finish Dry, woody. Fresh herbs, light smokiness. Comment Has held its character well considering its age.
