A 20 year old bottling to the Tullibardine range.
A new take that replaces their previous vintage bottlings with classic honey, rich with malt and spicey blends.
Nose: Cocoa butter and allspice, notes of vanilla creamy and candy floss. Manuka honey.
Palate: Honeyed, malty palate with vanilla and mixed spices. Orange blossom honey, allspice and pepper.
Finish: Long finish with gingerbread and porridge oats on the tail.
Overall: Rich, malty and spiced.
