Tullibardine 1975

Tullibardine from the 1970s: I have not tried many. The only two – both from 1973 – were tasted at a friend’s birthday party (he was born in 1973).

Belgian bottler Brachadair made a bold choice with this release in my opinion. FYI: it matured on an ex-Koval cask! Koval is that craft distillery in the heart of Chicago, IL,...
