Andrew's Tasting Notes
Nose: creamy and nutty with loads of honey; strawberry-rhubarb pie, honeydew melon and tropical fruits: ripe mango and papaya; flambeyed banana.
Palate: big, creamy and smooth; thick honey, loads of vanilla and birght floral oils; more strawberry-rhubarb pie with a warm buttery crust; flambeyed banana and more exotic fruits; toasty with wood spices.
Finish: medium long in length with more wood spices and toasty oak; floral with vanilla, honey and traces of fruit.
Comment: this is a lovely Glen Grant; I find most independent bottlings a little thin; lots of oak character here, well mingled with the spirit's own profile.

Tullibardine Custodians Collection 1962
$4,999.99
!!!COMING SOON to KWM!!!
The third release in the Tullibardine Custodians Collection is the 1962. Matured 52 years in two American Oak casks. Only 250 bottles produced. 40.1%.
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: Amazingly youthful in parts there is a real depth of flavour with this whisky. On the nose tangerine and sublime citrus freshness abound counterbalanced with sweet barley and a touch of vanilla.
Palate: There are hints of almonds, spice, creme brûlée and baked bananas to taste which combine beautifully with the citrus & sweet barley notes from the initial nosing. For a whisky that is 55 years old there is not hint of old oak at all, this whisky delivers on so many levels elegance and charisma.
John Torrance, Distillery Manager at Tullibardine Distillery: “This is truly a very special release for the brand and distillery, and one which is precious to us here at Tullibardine. The 1962 makes up a trio of limited and sought-after malts, which are amongst the finest in the world. We hope that our customers join us to celebrate this historic release.’
Keith Geddes, Master Blender at Tullibardine: "The Tullibardine 1962 is a work of art, capturing the essence of Tullibardine and the effects of the surrounding environment. This is reflected in this special release, which following a lot of patience has blossomed to become a complex and luxurious whisky.”
