Tasting note

Colour

The colour of this whisky is a rich, deep amber with a hint of ruby hue, clearly reflecting the influence of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine casks.

Nose

On the nose, a complex bouquet of dried red fruits such as cherries and plums unfolds, followed by notes of vanilla and honey. Subtle hints of spicy oak and a hint of leather add depth and character to the whisky. After some time in the glass, aromas of dark chocolate and a hint of tobacco emerge.

Taste

On the tongue, this Tullibardine is full and luscious. The sweet notes of berry jam and sultanas balance nicely with the spicy influences of cinnamon and nutmeg. The influence of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape barrels is evident, with a wonderful integration of fruity and earthy flavours. A slight hint of oak and a touch of liquorice give the whisky a nice complexity and depth.

Finish

The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruit, soft spices and a slight hint of chocolate. The tannins from the wine casks provide a fine dry touch at the end, giving the whisky an elegant and refined finish.
