Tullibardine 500 Sherry Finish, 700ml

Tullibardine 500 Sherry Cask Finish is matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels before spending time in 500 litre Oloroso sherry butts to give it a rich sherried finish.

Tasting Note:

The deep, nutty brown colour comes from the time spent in the sherry casks as well as lots of the aromas and flavours you’d expect. On the nose there’s intense toffee apple notes with a hint of oatmeal. These notes combine with a spicy, viscous mouthfeel and more Christmas spices on the palate, before ending with sweet dates and a peppery 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.
