Custodians Collection 1973

Custodians Collection 1973Alc Vol: 41. 5%. Tullibardine 1973 is the fifth edition of the prestigious Custodians Collection. Drawn from deep in Tullibardines cellars that hold some rare and precious whiskies, this edition was produced from a sherry butt that was re casked in 2014. Distilled on 29th September 1973, this expression has been aged for 49 years. A classic example of historic Tullibardine at its finest. On the nose youll find a delightful combination of rich caramel,

under the watchful eye of our master distiller

toasted oak and caramelised brown sugar intensify on the palate

the maturing spirit was re-casked in 2017 into an American Virgin Oak barrel and matured for a further seven years

our whisky was flowing through the stills and continued to flow until 1993 when the distillery was unfortunately mothballed for ten years

You’ll receive an illustrious Black Astrum card with your unique membership number and the following benefits:

dried fruit and raisins

it starts life as a Fino or Amontillado would but then begins to oxidise as an Oloroso would

Those who tasted highlighted notes of peaches

On the palate a subtle spice permeates the fruity cocktail developing a satisfyingly rich dram

A deliciously spicy and sweet lingering finish

while on the palate a bright burst of pomegranate cuts through the richness to create a dram that’s mouth watering and approachable even at cask strength

Distilled in 2005
