Tullibardine 2005, "The Murray" Double Wood Edition Single Malt, 700ml
Distilled in 2005 and expertly crafted at our Perthshire distillery, the Murray Double Wood is aged in first-fill bourbon casks before being transferred into first-fill sherry casks for a second period of maturation.
Tasting Note:
On the nose, the expression boasts a delightful, rich honey sweetness layered upon vanilla ice cream, hints of dark chocolate and dried figs. Over time, subtle sherry aromas, combined with citrus fruits and freshly washed peaches, drift upwards leaving a delicate, oaky fragrance lingering. To taste, gentle notes of honey, sherried fruits and cinnamon with hints of espresso and fresh strawberries drizzled with cream. The soft-spiced sherry flavours linger on the tongue to create a smooth and exceptional 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.
