Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Finish, 700ml

The auburn hue of this whisky comes directly from its time spent in the 228 litre barriques that previously held Pinot Noir from Chateau de Chassagne-Montrachet.

Tasting Note:

The nose of the 228 features red cherries and vanilla with hints of chocolate and Turkish Delight.

On the palate, there is a real hint of red summer fruit, more chocolate and a sweet spice note on the finish.

The Distillery:

Its history dates back to 1949, and its location in the village of Blackford, near the Ochil Hills in the Highlands. It is currently owned by Picard Vins & Spiritueux, a French wine and spirits company.

Under the Picard ownership Tullibardine often experiments with cask finishes, including wine casks from Burgundy, Chateauneuf du Pape, Sauternes among others.
