Mark: +/++++
Mark: +/++++
Conclusion: I am not overly enthusiastic about this. Many of the notes are pleasant, but the end result, or the overall balance, is just far to find.
Tullibardine often feels a bit "raw" to me, as does this 16yo that just seems not to be ready. For me, this is a fine example of a dead 15-16yo cask that has been finished in an "not overly active" ex-Sherry cask.
