Tullibardine Aged Oak (en)

This bottle was sent to us by the distillery Tullibardine. This was not the high-endproduction of the distillery and the bottle is very affordable as it costs less than 30 euros. Moreover, the rate of 40% alccol is not too popular with the fans on the forum, which is why it finished sixth. But once again, the opinions concerning thisbottle were quite divergent. The gap between the highest score (90) and worst one (65)is considerable: 25 points.
Here are the notes extremes:

mapi
Color: white wine.
Nose very balanced between freshness and flowers and a smooth and buttery side.
The palate begins with a fresh attack almost syrupy. Then the coolness of licorice. This whisky is fine and elegant.
The finish is superb with roasted almond notes in a gangue of milk chocolate and hints of tarte Tatin.
90/100

F: short but they're young, beautiful balance, silky texture, very nice product
90/100
Alouis
Color: White wine
Nose: Starts on sweet notes, and then becomes more spicy and fruity on acid fruits such as apple and lemon zest.
This whisky seems (too) young with a out of balance nose and hints of new spirit.
Taste: Youth is confirmed in the mouth with little flavor, just sugar cane and cereals.
Short finish with a slight bitterness.
65/100
