Tullibardine, 1988 vintage, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2008 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Similar in personality to its younger standard 1993 and 1992 vintages -- soft and mellow, with fresh barley, vanilla cream puff, cut grass and hay, cookie dough, and a dusting of pencil shavings. The extra aging shows on the whisky’s dried spice and polished oak finish. More sophisticated than its younger siblings, although the younger vintages are more drinkable.
