Tullibardine 1992/2011 (46%, OB, 1Er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Finish) 

On the nose there is the classic ‘green’ notes one often encounters in Tullibardine which quickly is surpassed by some good rich notes which must be the 1Er Cru Classé  Bordeaux making itself known to the whisky. However after a while the ‘green’ notes (this is not an attempt to be derogatory but merely a descriptor of cereal, pizza dough, bread, green peas and Weetabix characteristics. The taste is very good, a nice tussle between the ‘green’ notes and the 1Er Cru Classé  Bordeaux finish along with an astonishing mouth sucking dryness that is quite unique. Then after the shock of the dryness comes some really nice sweetness which works really well with the other flavours. The finish is malty and dry with some briny and Marmite notes thrown in at the last, for good measure. An exceedingly long and active finish. 

A multi faceted dram to be sure and quite good.And different. And the colour of Iron Bru.
