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.

I’ve received one of these for my birthday and I’m now intrigued as to whether I gave a “good” or “bad” bottle. Can anyone with either post the bottling date and batch number as marked now base of the bottle for comparison purposes? I think I have a good one, very mellow, certainly see the benefits of the desert wine.
I'm not a conasour by any means but I have tried a lot of different singe malts available in different supermarkets and I must say this is one of my favourite non smoky ? bit pricey though
Smells of old rubber, was very disappointing. Now reserved for adding to Hot Lemon cold remedies
