74Tullibardine 1990 Cask 6100, 58.6% abv
Was presented this dram at a Dram Party hosted by Mike Lord in Dufftown. Went to a quiet corner to get to know this dram. Not sure what happened, but I had a hard time getting beyond some initial in-your-face nail polish notes on the nose. This was followed by apples with attitude on the palate and a hard finish. Maybe it was just me that evening. Would love to have another go at it in the future.
