Tullibardine 1966 World Cup Edition Whisky

Distilled 1966. Released 2006. How does that make the Whisky 47 years old?

More importantly, how does it taste?

@Nozinan The actual whisky itself was distilled in 1966 making the whisky itself 47 years old from todays date.

This Tullibardine 1966 World Cup Edition Whisky is a malt of masterful proportions. It carries a lot of depth and character, big and round with a delightfully long and mellow finish, this has aged extremely well.

NOSE: Ripe melons, creamy toffee, oranges and cherries. Cocoa & coffee. Some floral notes.

TASTE: Mellow spices, green tea. Lots of jammy stewed fruits and some cedar tobacco notes.

FINISH: Long with a gentle fading finish.

ASSESSMENT: Complex, the more you drink it the more notes you can find. Sensuous and stunning for a 40 year old sherry cask.

Thanks for clarifying. I guess you had 2 bottles, since you appear to have tasted it.

I should note that the usual "nomenclature" for age statements is from distillation date (when it is casked), to bottling date. Time effectively stands still after bottling. So this is a FORTY year old Whisky.

@Nozinan Thanks for clarifying that. You are right, it makes it a 40 year old whisky. I did have another bottle but down to my last one now. It comes highly recommended!
