Tullibardine 2015 8 Year Old, Dram Mor Single Cask #650932
Tullibardine Distillery founded in 1949 in Blackford, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, was set up to produce a light, nutty malt to be used young and aged in refill casks for private labels. Now owned by Picard Vins & Spiritueux, France, Tullibardine malt is famed for high-toned floral notes, suitable to go into first fill casks and proneness to any type of wine finish.
Cask Type: 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead
Bottles: 245
Colour: Mahogany
Nose: Smells like spring time, lots of honey and wild flowers with just a hint of fine sauternes. Some sultanas, raisins and a hint of orange zest.
Palate: Everything you would expect from a sherry bomb but without the weight we associate with these drams. A touch of savoury leather combined with a shockingly elegant top note of oak and cinder toffee.
Finish: Peppery and slightly vegetal, oak and celeriac with a hint of wormwood.
