Tullibardine 2006 LotG Cask# 34

Remarks:
very interesting malt that needs a lot of time and air. In retrospect, I’m glad I gave it to him. Because I didn’t like it at my very first tasting and I would have given it a maximum of 83. But today he was able to convince me otherwise.

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

• Nose: 86/100 points
  Strong sherry starts, then there are intense dried fruits, the missing notes that I had the first time have almost disappeared. However, the fermented metallic thing I had at the very beginning still shows up briefly. The air in the sample bottle was really good for him. Now it comes out very fruity with apricots and oranges, also a little cherry and chocolate shows up later
  
  
• Taste: 86/100 points
  Strong sherry-heavy start, a bit sweet and at first, I find a lot of chocolate here, but it softens quickly, and it becomes more sour and slightly bitter. Then the oranges come, and it looks very spicy and a bit peppery.
  
  
• Finish: 86/100 points
  The finish is very aromatic and spicy and is very reminiscent of Christmas spices, after a while it becomes sour, but then it changes again and it changes the aromas for a very long time. Later the dried fruits show up and the chocolate comes at the very end
