INTRODUCTION
For 2007 Whisky Live Glasgow is moving to a new venue, the purpose built SECC. And the show also has new dates, 2nd & 3rd November, making the show an ideal pre-Christmas expedition. Whisky Live Glasgow is Scotland’s whisky tasting event of the year, bringing all the very best whiskies of the world to one event. With expert advice on hand and the opportunity to learn about the whisky basics, Whisky Live Glasgow is intended to provide the ultimate whisky experience for the enthusiast and novice. The whisky experiences, Masterclasses, live music, stage, games area and delicious food all make Whisky Live Glasgow a memorable day out
Whisky Live Tullibardine Bottling
 This delightful 15 Years Old Tullibardine single malt, matured in bourbon barrels, has been hand selected from the finest oak casks in the distillery’s stocks for a Whisky Live bottling. It is offered at cask strength and is non chill-filtered to showcase the best this Highland spirit has to offer. The distillery sits at the foot of the Ochil Hills in Perthshire and draws its water from a crystal clear spring, which once served the favourite brewery of King James IV of Scotland.
Tasting Note
A light malty nuttiness with fresh floral notes with an underlying sweetness and hints of honey. Water encourages the floral elements and brings a little spice and some citrus. A brief drying feeling is engulfed in waves of sweet malt and honey, with hints of grape seed. With water the creaminess from the oak comes through. Finishes quite crisp and dry. A delicate, fragrant malt with intriguing complexity. The perfect refreshing dram for sharing before dinner or in the afternoon with friends.
