Part of Tullibardine's relaunch of their single malts in 2013, the 20 year old is matured in first fill bourbon barrels.
Tullibardine 20 Year Old was tasted at Meeting No. 21 on February 27, 2014. Out of 5, we rated it 2.10. Tullibardine 20 Year Old ranks 12th overall in Scotch. Costing $146, this spirit is expensive given the our rating of it.
Nose of lightly soiled gym socks. Palate is oaky with a bit of a kick. Finishes long and woody.
Floorboards on the nose. Dusty chalk that finishes very bitter. Nutty nut nut.
Added water is a must. Dusty mint and dirty spinach.
Smells like leather, dusty attic but still a little subdued. Some of the bourbon notes are present. Tastes like cola and starts promising but takes a turn south at some point. Finishes bitter.
