(Tullibardine x No Nonsense Whisky Tasting – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 31 May 2022). Nose: Hairspray, floor polish, Demerara, toffee apples, toasted oats, citrus zest, raspberry Palate: Poached apples/pears, honey, dates, cinnamon, chocolate cherries, sweet. Loads of light sherried fruit. Finish: Medium long finish. Creamy finish, chocolate cherries, nutty/marzipan, figs, berries, butterscotch This is a light, fruity and sherried dram. Sweet chocolate and light berry. An entry level dram - very easy to drink. There's a load of sherry notes, but not a sherry bomb. Light and drinkable.

This was acquired by way of whisky pull at a benefit event. It's not one I've tried, so I'm not disappointed, although it's probably not one I would go out and buy otherwise. The nose is tangy green apple, vanilla, and something a little musty. The palate follows suit with much the same. Fairly creamy texture. The little musty funk goes back and forth between feeling like an off note and feeling like it gives this a little more interest than I might have in this otherwise. The finish goes pretty flat and then I taste more of the sherry casks, which don't seem especially impressive. As far as value, I think this is in the ballpark of a decent blended scotch and would hope that it's priced accordingly.
