The Tullibardine Sovereign Bourbon Barrels is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky from the renowned Tullibardine Distillery in the Highlands region of Scotland. Bottled in 2014, this whisky boasts an ABV of 43% and comes in an elegant 700ml presentation box. The distillery, once plagued by management issues and a period of closure, has made a remarkable comeback under private ownership since 2003. The Sovereign expression serves as an excellent introduction to the distillery's core character, being aged exclusively in first-fill Bourbon barrels, providing a delightful balance of flavors.
On the nose, this whisky offers inviting notes of caramel, vanilla, and warm spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate unfolds with a sweet and buttery caramel flavor, complemented by ripe banana, vanilla, and toasted barley. The finish is medium-length, leaving a sweet and spicy aftertaste with a lingering hint of vanilla. For those hesitant due to the lack of an age statement, the Tullibardine Sovereign provides a quality experience at a good value, rivalling even the Glenmorangie Original 10 Years in its smooth and approachable profile.
The Tullibardine Sovereign is matured exclusively in first-fill Bourbon barrels, which imparts a distinctively sweet and creamy profile with hints of spice and vanilla.
Yes, the Tullibardine Sovereign serves as an excellent entry point to the distillery's offerings, showcasing the core character of their single malts.
While some Highland whiskies like Talisker are more well-known, the Tullibardine Sovereign holds its own with a well-balanced flavor profile and smooth finish, making it a worthy alternative.
As a whisky enthusiast, I find the Tullibardine Sovereign Bourbon Barrels to be a delightful introduction to the distillery's range. Its maturation in first-fill Bourbon barrels imparts a beautifully balanced sweetness and creaminess, with just the right amount of spice. The medium-length finish leaves a pleasant, lingering taste that invites another sip. This whisky undoubtedly offers an excellent value for those looking to explore the Highland single malts.
