Tullibardine’s latest crafted malt is cask strength
THE latest whisky to join Tullibardine’s crafted range, The Murray, has been awarded a prestigious 95 points by judges at the 2017 Ultimate Spirits Challenge, giving it the coveted “extraordinary, ultimate recommendation” status in the Highland Single Malt Whisky category.
The cask-strength whisky was recognised as a finalist in this year’s blind-judged competition for the Chairman’s Trophy, impressing judges with its brawny nose of peanut brittle, mushroom, wet autumn leaves, apricot, toffee and vanilla and its delightfully smoky finish.
This marks the first award for the single malt expression, which was distilled in 2004 and bottled in 2016 after maturing in first-fill bourbon casks at the Perthshire distillery.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
