Tullibardine – 1989 30 Year Old Old & Rare Heritage Single Cask (70cl, 47.1%)

This is a 30 year old single cask Tullibardine, distilled in 1989 and bottled by Hunter Laing for its Old & Rare series at 47.1% ABV. The years in cask let the distillery's malty, nutty character develop, with orchard fruit and a grassy, autumn-meadow quality. The whisky is golden. The nose is fragrant, with vanilla, summer hay and stewed apples. The palate is sweet, fresh and floral with a distinct maltiness, followed by a long, lingering finish with a touch of spice.
