From the very beginning of the aroma, there is a strong sense of concentration and richness, with unique nuances reminiscent of menthol candy and cinnamon. Alongside the sweet aroma of apple pie and various dried fruits, there is a strong woody note characteristic of long-aged whisky, but it is not harsh. When tasted, it feels smooth in texture as expected from a long-aged whisky, but expands powerfully with the rich aroma typical of high-proof long-aged whiskies. As with the aroma, it is filled with a unique cinnamon flavor in apple pie, and adding to that, a strong sweetness and oiliness reminiscent of caramelized nuts are clearly felt. Indeed, the woody note is strong in flavor but not unpleasant, contributing to an extremely rich taste. The minty notes present in both aroma and flavor seem to tighten the potentially overly sweet and sticky fragrance. This is a long-aged TULLIBARDINE with a clear official-style aroma, stopping just short of over-aging and was very delicious. This bottle was kindly provided by Main Malt in Kobe Sanmachi.
