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.
Delicious! We finished the bottle so fast as it was just so good.
Just as brilliant as 'Tullibardine' of old. So comforting on a chilly evening.
Great taste and aftertaste. Smooth and hints of sweetness. One of the best in this price range.
I’m normally an Islay drinker but the Tullabardine Sovereign was a nice distraction. This on the other hand is another level. Absolutely no kick, smooth and warming. Really really good.
Lovely lovely stuff. Perhaps my favourite whisky so far. Highly recommend it. Very smooth, pleasant taste, reminds me a bit of autumn. Really complex and satisfying finish too.
