Tullibardine 11 Years Old 2010 (Sexywhisky)

A Tullibardine single malt, picked by Sexywhisky matured to 11 year old from 2010 and bottled at 57.7%. Just 30 bottles were filled. Tullibardine was built in 1949 at the foot of the Ochil Hills; its honeyed malt has a quiet following. Water comes from the Ochil Hills springs, the same source as the Highland Spring bottled water.

Distilled in copper stills on Ochil Hills spring water, giving the light, fruity spirit at its heart. It was matured in refill ex-Bourbon oak, lending honey and vanilla. At a youthful age the fruit is gentle and the malt soft. Years in oak round the spirit, the honey and soft fruit deepening with age. The Murray and Custodian's Collections gather its older and rarer bottlings. Blackford's spring water has drawn brewers and distillers to the village for centuries. Tullibardine was founded in 1949 by the architect William Delme-Evans, the first new distillery in post war Scotland.

At a natural 57.7% it is full and honeyed. The refill oak lending honey and vanilla, with honey, vanilla and a soft toffee. The mouthfeel is soft, the fruit carried on a honeyed body. Toffee, honey and a soft oak see out the finish. This is a mellow, fruity Highland single malt.
