Tullibardine Gold Medal Cask
$131.39
Region:Scotland > Highland
My Tasting Note: Nose: very fruity, cinnamon and cardamom, tones of "goats milk white chocolate" (yes there is such a thing, see Epiphany at 1417B 11st SW in Calgary for more info) and raspberry jam; I also detect a twinge of mom's rhubarb crumble; Palate: rich and spicy with ripe candied fruits; sticky toffee pudding, cinnamon, ginger, clove and more spices besides; is there an undertone of soft vanilla? The whisky is very nutty, with a rich sherry character; it is hard to tell if under all the layers of sweet, spice and oak whether there is an American oak influence to be found (Is this a straight sherry or a finish I wonder?), in the end I suppose it doesn't matter, it is the journey that's important, and I'm enjoying this one! Finish: the finish is rich, smooth and sweet; candied fruits linger fading with hints of honey, soft spice and toasted oak. For each bottle sold by the Kensington Wine Market Andy, the whisky's importer will donate $5 to the Children's Hospital Aid Society of Calgary!
