Tullibardine Maltbarn 1989

General Information

Nose: a fairly neutral profile. White gummi bears, aromatic peaches, a little vanilla custard and something of a scented wax candle. Green apples, maybe a hint of kiwi. Nicely fruity, subtle floral touches – rather classic.

Mouth: again a good dose of fruitiness, with a bit more minerality now. Honey, sweet lemon, yellow grapefruit, with some pepper and ginger. A tad nervous. Hints of cinchona, maybe a little wasabi. Interesting power considering the smooth nose.

Finish: rather long, gingery, with plenty of zesty notes.
