The Tullibardine 18 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a fine spirit with a rich history and a unique flavor profile. After distillation using malted barley, the whisky is matured for nearly two decades in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks from America and refill sherry casks from Spain. This dual maturation process lends a contemporary taste to the whisky, harmoniously blending the classic flavors associated with both bourbon and sherry cask aging.
The Tullibardine distillery, located in the picturesque Highlands of Scotland, boasts a long and successful history, with roots dating back to the end of the 15th century. Although the distillery has not been producing whisky for as long, it has certainly made a name for itself in the world of Scotch. The brand, Tullibardine, is synonymous with quality and tradition, offering a wide range of expressions that cater to both novice and seasoned whisky enthusiasts.
On the nose, the Tullibardine 18 Year Old Highland Single Malt opens with a sweet initial impression, featuring notes of vanilla, caramel, lemonade, and a medley of fruits like nectarines and dried fruit. Subtle hints of oak from the casks add depth and complexity. The palate is full-bodied and well-balanced, blending these flavors into a warming, spiced experience. The finish is rich and rounded, with a buttery mouthfeel and lingering notes of brown sugar.
In addition to its unique flavor profile, the Tullibardine 18 Year Old also boasts a stylish presentation. The distillery has collaborated with Scottish artist Bryan Angus to create decorative labels and gift packaging that showcase scenes from the distillery's daily operations and the surrounding idyllic landscape. This whisky is truly a feast for the senses.
