Tullibardine NAS 1993-? 40% OB
I'm doing some youngsters today, this one surely is the oldest of the two. I remember the 10yo and 12yo Tullibardine as kind of futile whiskies, so hopefully this will boost the sale of standard OB's down in Blackford. White wine colour, The nose os floral and extremely light, a summers malt? If nosing this blind I'd never guess it was a whisky. The taste is slightly oaky, lemon peel, fresh and sour, lemonade sundae and bitter riesling. A pleasant surprise , pretty complex for an unpeated and unsherried highlander at only 40%. The aftertaste is peppery and a bit drying but not too much.
A whisky to have with scallops?: 6.5

A lighter whisky than the last two, light yellow with some green notes, can that be good? No wonder it comes in a green bottle. This one smells a bit grassy, some coastal notes, but again a bit on the bland side. The taste is nice, a bit minty, fresh, sushi, soy beans, cedar wood and earthy notes. The aftertasteis very nice, minty and earthy, just a bit too earthy and bitter for my taste, but I'm sure there are many out there who would appreciate this one as a light aperitif malt.
It has something a bit unique: 4

Tullibardine has still to really make it's mark among the modern single malts. It reminds me of liquoricefudge and grass, typical smells for whiskies that perhaps haven't matured long enough. Very light-flavoured, dried herbs, smoked salmon, burnt clay, very light and dry. Could have done well if less diluted.
A pretty bland experience: 3.5
