- The Whisky Advocate	Tullibardine The Murray	N/V		Apr-2017
Review “Distilled in 2004, this is a roughly 12 year old whisky and Tullibardine’s first cask-strength release in over a decade.”
- The Whisky Advocate	Aurora Single Malt Scotch Whisky	N/V		Apr-2017
Review “This unpeated, uncolored, and non-chill filtered whisky is just three years old, but if our review of Wolfburn’s first release is anything to go by, it shows a lot of promise. This is a permanent core expression and will be consistently available.”
- Beverage Media	Aurora Single Malt Scotch Whisky	N/V		Apr-2017
Review “New to the Wolfburn range, the Aurora Single Malt was aged in a combination of American oak and Oloroso Sherry casks, yielding an intriguing balance of sweet and savory notes. SRP $63; 92 proof.”
- Beverage Media	Tullibardine The Murray	N/V		Apr-2017
Review “The first release of the Marquess Series from Tullibardine, The Murray pays homage to an historic Scot, Sir William Murray; the whisky has been laid down in first-use Bourbon barrels; bottled at cask strength. SRP $75; 112 proof.”
- Ultimate Spirits Challenge	Aurora Single Malt Scotch Whisky	N/V	92	Mar-2017
Review “Bursting with aromas of pineapple stalk, lime flower, honey, rolled oats, and a whisper of peat on the nose; it charges forward on the palate with golden raisin, plum, roasted peanuts, and sea salt. Tannins offer grip, with more fruit and a slow burn on the finish.” (Excellent, Highly Recommended)
- Ultimate Spirits Challenge	Tullibardine The Murray	N/V	95	Mar-2017
Review “Brawny nose of peanut brittle, smoke, mushroom, wet autumn leaves, apricot, toffee, and vanilla. Full-flavored palate with breakfast bar, honey, barbecue, and pineapple stalk that lead into a delightfully smoky finish dotted with mango, nuts, and honey.” (Finalist, Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation)
- The Fifty Best	Single Malt Scotch Whisky	N/V	Double Gold	Dec-2016
Review “Nose: Peaches, melon, grapes, grapefruit, banana, creamy, citrus peel, bubblegum, leather, brine, peat, light smoke, burnt wood, cedar, soft, forest in the morning. Palate: Honey, creamy, marzipan, citrus, red fruits, raisins, wintergreen, celery, clove, spice, pipe tobacco, briny, salinity, peaty, light peat, smoky, cedar, smooth, silky.

- Drink Hacker	Tullibardine 20 year old	N/V		Mar-2016
Review “…This whisky spends 20 years in first-fill bourbon barrels, which give it a depth of flavor and density …The nose offers some curious hospital character, with slight mushroom and forest floor notes. The body has some of this brooding wet earth character, mixed in with notes of heather, dark chocolate, walnuts, and savory spices. The finish recalls a bit of that Listerine character and more granary notes.” --> B+
- Drink Hacker	Tullibardine 25 year old	N/V		Feb-2016
Review “…25 years in oloroso sherry casks give this a dark, burnished color and a dense nuttiness that is only hinted at in the younger spirits. Notes of butterscotch, flamed orange peel, and barrel char notes lead the way into a body that offers touches of banana, nougat, coconut, and cocoa powder notes. The finish brings up the classic Tullibardine grain character, ending with a touch of powdered charcoal.” --> B+
- Drink Hacker	Tullibardine 500	N/V		Feb-2016
Review “…This is a fairly classic, though simple and youthful, sherry-finished malt, balancing a toasty caramel nose with some sharper citrus notes underneath, particularly evident on the body as it develops. The finish is soothing with gentle grain, malty caramel, and just a hint of cloves. As with many of these NAS whiskies, this is a fine everyday dram, but it’s not cut out for serious exploration.” --> B
