A mature, highly fragrant expression. A combination of two sherry hogsheads, the 1970 offers a rich hint of bees wax with fresh citrus notes of tangerine, balanced with sweet barley, hints of almonds, spice, creme brulee, baked bananas and a touch of vanilla.
The first whisky in the Marquess Collection is the Murray, a 12 year old, cask strength single malt, entirely matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, distilled in 2004 and bottled in 2016. The Murray features chocolate-dipped strawberries which leads to herbal oak and buttery notes, then combine with a burst of barley and orchard fruits, filling the mouth with a hint of orange blossom, and ending with spicy peppercorn.
This is benchmark Tullibardine, full-bodied, smooth and fruity in the mouth. There are a myriad of flavors coming from toffee, spice and dried apricots, through to the more obvious barley and vanilla notes on the finish. Enjoy neat.
Spiced, aromatic nose with notes of dark brown sugar and toffee apples
Soft vanilla and cocoa butter on the nose. White chocolate, allspice and charred oak.
For about 12 months, Tullibardine Sovereign has been finished off in Chateau de Chassagne Montrachet Red Burgundy Casks, which are 228 litres in size. This creates a delightful ruby colour to this whisky with vanilla, light chocolate flavours, a creamy richness and hints of red summer fruit.
