Tullibardine Sovereign

Hard to get past the alcohol aromas at first but this mellows out revealing a sweet malty character. Light citrus notes. Salt and pepper.

Pear, quince, spring flowers. Fragrant.

I don't know how to describe it... saw a lot of comments saying that it lacks character, but I am recepting something different - it smells like strong alcohol, to the extent that it feels a little stale. On palette, it's quite light and lacks flavour. This might be personal but definitely not my thing - if you're cross comparing it with another dram definitely put it as the first one.

The nose is very mild, there's hardly anything there, and what is there, has a mild white wine, cider note. The pallet is spicy, fairly warm, I get peaches or pears, there's a bit of spice, a bit of salt, and maybe a hint of white chocolate. It's also quite sweet. But finishes short, spicy, and a bit dry.
