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.

Nailed it. I’ve tasted every Tullibardine release from the last two decades but I’ve yet to taste one I’d buy, although I think they have been improving.
