Хересный купаж от Murray McDavid: тёмные сушёные фрукты, шоколад-какао и пряности при заметной молодости. Опытные ставят ровно 80–85; главное расхождение — насыщенная глубина против упрёков в горечи, простоте и водянистости.
развернуть подробно
В аромате преобладают изюм, тёмные сушёные фрукты (инжир, финики, чернослив, вишня), сливовое повидло и ягоды, поверх — молочный и тёмный шоколад, какао, орехи (фундук, миндаль) и мягкие пекарские пряности с корицей; несколько авторов отмечают сернистую ноту и лёгкую кислинку, а сам аромат называют не слишком объёмным. Во вкусе — сладкая солодовая основа, тёмные фрукты, апельсин, шоколад с орехами и пряная дубовость (корица, гвоздика, имбирь), текстура кремовая, но при 44,5% спирт выступает вперёд и уводит напиток в сторону дубовости и сухости. Послевкусие от среднего до длинного: орехи, тёмный шоколад, солод, пряности и сухость на щеках.
Опытные ревьюеры держатся в узком коридоре 80–85 и описывают напиток как добротный хересный молт с реальной глубиной и хорошим соотношением цены и качества, но единодушно указывают на нехватку выдержки. Менее опытные дают более широкий разброс (79–87): верхняя часть хвалит слои олоросо и PX, тёмную сладость и долгий солодовый шлейф, тогда как критики называют напиток простым, одномерным, водянистым и чрезмерно горьким (горький миндаль, дубовая горечь). В целом оценки согласованы и плотно сгруппированы вокруг 82–84, а расхождение сводится не к профилю, который все описывают схоже, а к тому, воспринимается ли молодость и горечь как недостаток или как приемлемая простота за свои деньги.

The nose starts off spicy. Then there is some sulphur and dark fruit. There is also chocolate, cocoa and nuts. The taste starts off spicy too. Dark dried fruit and nuts follow. Sugared oranges and creamy malt candy are there as well as chocolate and cocoa. The finish, which is medium, is left with dark chocolate, malt and nuts. A Tullibardine by Murray McDavid with a sherry finish. Great sherry whisky with real depth and fullness. Nevertheless, you notice the lack of age. The alcohol is good and there are no off notes. The price-performance ratio is good and you can't go wrong with this.
Lacking depth. Too ordinary and one-dimensional for me...

sweet sherry and a bit of wood, juicy raisins, ripe plums, a hint of tobacco and dark chocolate, overall not particularly voluminous |

quite a drinkable start with raisins and sherry cask, but then the alcohol immediately follows - the 44.5% is noticeable, with this alcohol boost the whisky is a little less drinkable, but more woody and with hints of unripe, light fruits and chili |

the whisky stays in the mouth for a long time and stimulates salivation, but seems drier than in the nose and in the first impression on the tongue, a sherry note remains on the tongue and a slight sharpness on the inside of the cheeks |

Starts off weak with the nose but the taste and the finish is awesome. For the price it's amazing. Full of figs, dates, prunes and chocolate. A suprisingly long finish.

0582-TULLIBARDINE SHERRY FINISH HOGHSHEAD CASK MURRAY McDAVID CASK CRAFT SINGLE MALT SCOTCH Whisky 44.5% ... ..no, well... it's not bad. Decent, though young. There might be a bit too much bitterness, but you get used to it. This version of Tullibardine isn't overly complex, focusing on a few aromas and flavors. Which isn't a bad thing, really. Sometimes less is more. Overall, it's a fairly accessible sipper. It's a shame it's only for one sip, but if you do buy it, you should be pleased. And if not, one of your guests definitely will be.
Lots of sherry. Mostly Oloroso Chocolate, dark Lots of baking spices in taste. Dark Chocolate… dark sweetness… All dressed up in layers of sherry…. cacao Great malt that stays for long

Warm, sweet, and complex – like a plate full of raisins, figs, and dark cherries nestled in a freshly opened oak crate. PX brings syrupy depth, Oloroso delivers nuttiness, spice, and a delicate dryness. Add to that vanilla, honey, and a hint of cocoa. |

Round, sweet, spicy, and fruit-forward – like a dense stream of caramel, raisin, and ripe apricot flowing over dark wood. PX reveals itself with dark sweetness and soft richness, Oloroso with nuttiness, spice, and structure. The texture is full yet clear, with a warm, luminous core. |

Medium-long, fruity and woody, and pleasantly warm. Raisin, vanilla, nut, and a subtle hint of spice linger – like the final notes of a sweet sherry in the evening light. |
Not particularly complex, but lush and full of wood-spicy side. You have to like that. It tastes exactly like it's called, like chocolate and fruit. I like it: tasty and tasty.

First some freshness, then the typical Tullibardine aromas: malty, fruity, wine-like (like wine gums). Dark creme brulee and some cocoa are added. |

Medium length. Nice distinct spice with cinnamon, dark chocolate, a little ginger and very light herbs. Only gets a little dry. |
A very good "Sherry Malt" with excellent value for money.
It's rare that I rate the flavor with the lowest score, but the dram is too bitter for me. Nevertheless, for me the Cask Craft series from Murray McDavid is a better alternative than original bottlings with 40%. The 44.5% simply makes the experience more exciting.

Sherry, dried fruits and here explicitly a large load of raisins, some nuts. This is to be expected from the barrels, but it leaves you wanting more. |

A little bitter, leaning towards bitter almond or dark chocolate, a hint of roasted aromas, some volatile sulfur, overall the whisky seems watery at first, but is a little stronger at the end. |

The roasted aromas stay with me for a long time and wrap themselves around the palate. This is really hitting me hard right now. |
