Chorlton Whisky Tullibardine 13 Years Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 52.2%)
A distillery on the up! This little Tulli has been treated to an unusual maturation in a refill barrique that previously held peated spirit.
The nose starts with bananas galore, then toffee pennies, clotted cream, allspice, brioche, orange and little touches of tar and smoke. The palate is big, fruity and funky, with an almost rum-ish vibe of bananas, tarry liquorice, a pile of oranges, plus spiced coffee cake, custard, and old-school Tullibardine rye and juniper.
This is great fun (as long as you like bananas) – rich, chunky and engagingly weird around the edges. The smoke from the cask doesn’t jump out at you, but provides a nice bit of background complexity.
This barrique produced only 213 bottles at a cask strength of 52.2%.
