Tullibardine 25 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$290.00
Aromas of honey glazed pecans, oak barrel, toasted brioche are telling of this aged whisky. The palate is lush with roasted grain, orange marmalade, vanilla, and butter pastry flavors that fill but come nowhere near to overpowering the mouth. It is thoroughly mature and complex.

About
The history of Tullibardine as a location for brewing and distilling is one of the oldest in Scotland. Located in Blackford, the gateway to the Highlands, it was here in 1488 that the young King James 4th of Scotland stopped by on his way to his coronation, to purchase beer from the local brewery. This is recorded as the first public purchase of beer. In 1503 the brewery received the first Royal Charter issued by James IV, in recognition of the fine beer produced at Tullibardine. In 1947 William Delme Evans began converting the original brewery buildings that remained into a distillery, and in 1949 the first spirit was distilled at the newly named Tullibardine Distillery. The name in Gaelic means ‘lookout hill’, and was taken from the small medieval chapel built in 1446, which is close to the distillery.
Tullibardine 25 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky is benchmark Tullibardine, full-bodied, smooth and fruity in the mouth. There are a myriad of flavours coming from toffee, spice and dried apricots, through to the more obvious barley and vanilla notes on the finish. This is a Tullibardine to savor and take ones time over.
