Tullibardine 25 Year

Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

Reviewed June 30, 2020
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
This is more woody and less fruity than Tullibardine 12, but then a surprisingly tropical note comes out. The passion fruit and mango lightly steps in the middle of the palate and carries into the finish. There is some nice complexity in here with richness extending beyond the minerals and gross bread. The spiciness is a bit strong given the minimal variation from start to finish. The tropical fruits really help to blend in the gross bread. It's really a nice, balanced Scotch with a bit too much mineral. The tropical notes really give it some life, and are alzo reminiscent of Bushmill's 21. It's enjoyable with flavors that eventually balance out. I do wish that there were less gross bread though. Fortunately, the tropical.fruits and apricot save it. It's great to drink, not worth the high price that I imagine it carries. It's kind of like a different, more flamboyant take on Highland Park The Light. Its tropical flavors really stand out, bringing it into the same ballpark. Otherwise, it would be out on its own, looking for a purpose. I would be delighted to sip this in most circumstances, but improbably wouldn't buy a bottle. The fruity finish is nice though, much like Bushmill's 21.
