Lady of the Glen Rare Cask Tullibardine 2006 (11 year old) 59.3%
First Fill Bourbon Cask #617
Dist: Sept 2006 Btl: May 2018/ Tasted: Nov 2018
The nose is slightly musty with hard barley, toffee, black fruit and winey, dusty tannins. Water makes it a little cleaner with more barley and vanilla showing.
The palate is like the nose faintly musty with earthy black fruit, toffee and plenty of mouth puckering tannins. Water brings out a subtle, almost peated character. Still hard and still a bit dirty. Short and a little hot with lingering vanilla and industrial notes. In conclusion: I don’t think this was filled into a particularly good quality cask.

The nose is intense and rummy. Quite high toned with rose petal, brown sugar, earthy wood spice and hints of pot pourri and apricot. Well balance with the slightly industrial spirit character coming through.
The palate opens with the rum cask, followed by high toned rose petal, brown sugar, earthy/ duety pot pourri and wood spice. Intense, dried fruit middle and finish with dried pineapple, apricot and some balancing edgy spirit. It’s definitely not lacking in character.
