This Tullibardine is very new and I got a sample from Whisky.com who apparently is the only one actually having this in stock. It isn’t even on the official website of Tullibardine. Might be some kind of field test - who knows.
On the nose it welcomes you with some fresh stone-fruits predominantly cherries and plums picked right from the tree. You also get some fresh damp hay and a bid of fermented apple. You definitely get a hint of sherry there as well.
The palate offers chocolate with red berries which is surprisingly creamy.
The finish stays for a long time and lingers about with a slight oaky bitterness and sour apple juice.
It was enjoyable but makes you wonder why they would release an in-between whisky like this. All it really does for me is making me curious about the older ones which I expect to give me more richness and brinyness, which I was missing a bid here.

Ah interesting I didn't realize they had a 15 yr. I've had the 25 yr and 20 and IMHO the later younger dram I preferred. If you want the best VFM Tullibardine ever..."The Murray" is where it's at INPO.
