Distilled at Tullibardine in the Highlands, this is a very tasty new whisky which was finished in a 225 litre cask (thus the name) which previously held maturing Sauternes dessert wine from Chateau Suduiraut. The result is a golden-coloured single malt with a deliciously creamy, fruity flavour.
Citrus peels and allspice. Notes of creamy vanilla, golden syrup, cocoa butter and black pepper.
Spiced palate entry with notes of candied orange and Seville marmalade. A little dried pineapple and white chocolate.
Medium finish with lingering sweet spices.
Superbly fruity whisky with a lovely influence from a dessert wine cask.

Great,sea taste! Worth the money. Rich taste and flavour!
Superb for the price point. Reckon you could have another, and another and another. Easy, smooth, light and tasty.
I guess I got one of the 'not good' bottles. Such a desultory drink. Overly-sharp bite at first, followed by a distasteful tanginess that becomes a sour, almost acrid aftertaste. None of the embracing warmth, sophisticated character, or fascinating exploration of aftertaste I so love about a good single malt (and can find even in 'cheap' bottles at Aldi). I shan't be buying another of these.
As whisky drinker for over 50 years my first taste of Tullibardine 225 was a totally sublime experience! I was blown away by its smoothnes and unusual taste. Definitely on my Christmas list.
Very smooth and sweet finish. Lingers on the palate.
