Tullibardine 500 Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Tullibardine Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made exclusively from locally-sourced malted barley. Once the grains arrive at the distillery, they are milled and mashed before being fermented in the distillery's washbacks. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled by John Black, Tullibardine's master distiller, through the distillery's copper-pot stills (the stills were installed in 1974). Black, who was born in 1942 at the Cardhu Distillery, has spent over five decades in the Scotch whisky industry. Tullibardine Highland Single Malt 500 Sherry Finish Scotch Whisky is also aged in American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. After its initial beauty rest, it is finished for one year in 500-liter sherry butts.

Tasting Notes

As a result, the whisky has a reddish-honey hue, along with an aroma of brown sugar, caramel apples and spices. The aroma gives way to notes of stewed fruit, cinnamon, dates and allspice on the palate, and finishes with hints of milk chocolate, orange zest and cinnamon.
