Tullibardine 1965
$480.59
My Tasting Note: Nose: like a nice soap shop, an air of fruits, flowers and perfume; complex but clean, layers of rich citrus notes, plumb, coconut cream and balanced oak; Palate: massively soft, homemade cream soda, blood orange, moist fruit cake and firm oak spices; tropical fruits develop with Highland toffee and chocolate fudge brownies; Finish: medium long and light with some sweet spice.
Glenmorangie Original 3 L 10
$229.94
The technical term for a 3L bottle is a Double Magnum or Jerobaum, the latter being a Biblical King of the Northern Kingdom. Glenmorangie distillery has the tallest stills in Scotland, which produce a very light, delicate spirit. After ten years maturing in the gentle Highland climate, the whisky is very balanced, sweet and complex. Soft with honey and a burst of citrus softening into vanilla and almonds.

CHARRED STICKS IN A HONEY POT
This 9 year old from Islay was matured in a refill barrel and is 61.1%
Flavour profile: Lightly peated
Outturn: 224 bottles
Panel's tasting note: "A mineralic edge of crushed flint combined with salty sea breeze and freshly sanded oak with its vanilla laced sweetness being reminiscent of pink wafer biscuits. A delicate smoke shrouded the glass like charred bonfire embers but with a sweet coating of runny honey. With water a light fruitiness evolved with freshly juiced blood oranges and tangy gooseberry tart beside a rock pool. The palate carried a delightfully nutty character with salted pistachio nuts wrapped in a creamy blanket of thick milk shake and cranachan. Blackcurrant jam and sultanas followed before a lasting finish of sea salt on lemon skin."
