1993 Douglas Laing & Co. Old Particular Single Cask Tullibardine 24 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Many years have passed since we last had a Tullibardine on the shelves... It's notable as one of a handful of Scottish distilleries that remains a family affair (most are owned by international corporations). With a wide portfolio of stock ranging back as far as 1952, the majority of Tullibardine's output is matured in x bourbon and x-sherry casks, stored on-site in traditional dunnage warehouses.

This indie run of just under 300 bottles was distilled in 1993 and bottled in 2017 from a refill hogshead (No. 12026) at 51.5%. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... Colour: straw. Nose: a very similar, very bready nose, just a tad rounder and, perhaps a little smokier. The cask may have been more active. Vanilla, wholegrain bread, dough, baker’s yeast, rye, a little green peppercorn… With water: cardboard, ink, a pile of old magazines in the attic… Mouth (neat): very good, just wacky and kind of deviant. I’m finding Swiss cheese again, fermenting plums, rotting papayas, sour dough, and buckwheat batter. Ready for crêpes? With water: smoked plums and apples, and a very dry cerealy side. Chickpea flour. Finish: medium, dry, bready. Comments: very similar. What’s sure is that Tullibardine’s got its very own, genuine character.
