This is one I was really hoping I’d love and while it’s not awful it leaves a lot to be desired. There’s a distinct rubbing alcohol note on the nose which is a little off-putting. I was expecting more of the cider cask to come through. On the palette it’s got the typical Tully flavor with a hint of cider and to my taste just a hair more astringent. I do get a nice crisp cider note on the finish but it’s fleeting at best.
The rubbing alcohol note does fade after some time in the glass so I’m curious how the bottle will be after a little oxidation. Not a bottle I’m upset to have picked up but not one I’ll grab again.

@deuce26 Thank you! I would like to give the rum cask Tully a try at some point but I think I’ll wait until I see it in a bar. I plan to revisit this one again in a couple weeks and see what, if anything, has changed.
Never had this one but thought the rum one was pretty good. Great review.
I had a similar experience with the Virginia Cider Cask finish. The smoke and cider flavor was interesting but I too would never want the bottle, but the pour was at least interesting
