Description

Set in the beautiful Perthshire countryside at the gateway to the Highlands, Tullibardine continues to operate in the traditional way, without modern day computer technology, giving visitors a real insight to the whisky distillation process.

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.

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

Tullibardine is one of the youngest Scottish distilleries; it was founded in 1949 by the architect William Delmé-Evans and C. I. Barrett.

It is situated in Perthshire and is actually on of the easiest distilleries to visit being further south.

The Tullibardine distillery (which was mothballed in 1994 or '95) is purchased by a group of businessmen with experience in the whisky industry, including Michael Beamish and Doug Ross.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Spiced with notes of red berry fruit, delicious vanilla and toasted oak.

Palate: A creamy and nutty entry with notes of sweet custard, apple peel, more red berries and sweetness from orange blossom honey.

Finish: Long with plum jam and allspice.

Taste Test

Jim Murray has scored this Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Cask Finish 82/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible.

‘No Shortages of bitter chocolate. Flawed but a wow for those looking for a mega dry malt.

Perfect dram for a cold spring evening, bringing hints of dried fruit and light rosemary. Very smooth, light and fruitful!

Whisky with a burgundy finish is definitely a match made in heaven. As you pour this fine dram, you're greeted with the aroma of sweet wines, fruity with hints of nougat. It almost seems a shame to drink such a fine smelling whisky! The burn is certainly there in the first sip, but it's just a slight tease. Then come the rushing flavours of cream and fruit, nut and vanilla. This soon gives way to a long and sweet finish of plum and red berries. All in all this is a fantastic whisky, will 100% be trying this again - Connor, Turmeaus Norfolk
