Tullibardine 12 Year

Initial pour was grassy with light honey and caramel. Distiller Review No. 948

Tullibardine is sweet and drinkable, good for sharing at a lively gathering. The nose suggests green apple, melted butter, and pekoe black tea. I taste plantain chips, shortbread, and gardenia flowers. It’s a bit green, with a waxy mouthfeel. The finish is cakey and malty, while the aftertaste leaves refined sugar. It lacks depth and complexity and feels overly processed; while not much to talk about, it would still be a nice companion for meeting a new person at a party.
