Description
The Tullibardine 500 Sherry Finish Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 0.7 litre represents a balanced combination of classic Highland whisky tradition and intensive sherry cask maturation. Produced by the Tullibardine Distillery, this single malt Scotch whisky is first matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks before receiving its character-defining finish in 500-litre Oloroso sherry butts. These large-volume sherry casks give the whisky additional depth, flavour and a pronounced sherry-accentuated structure. Bottled at 43%, the Tullibardine 500 Sherry Finish is harmonious, full-bodied and elegant and comes with a gift box.
The time spent in Oloroso sherry casks clearly shapes both the colour and aroma of this Highland single malt. The intensive cask contact ensures a deep nutty-brown colour and a complex interplay of sweetness, spice and structure. Typical of Tullibardine, the clear, clean base line of the distillate is retained, while the sherry cask contributes additional richness and depth. This bottling is aimed at connoisseurs who appreciate sherry-accentuated whiskies with balance and drinking flow and value a rounded, harmonious overall picture.
Tasting NoteColour: Deep nut brown with warm reflections.
Nose: Toffee apple, fine sweetness, oat notes and subtle spice.
Flavour: Viscous and spicy, with Christmas spices, sherry sweetness and a dense texture.
Finish: Spicy, with sweet dates, pepper and lingering depth.
The Tullibardine 500 Sherry Finish is ideal for drinking neat, preferably at room temperature, to fully appreciate the effect of the Oloroso sherry casks. In culinary terms, this Highland single malt harmonises particularly well with date or caramel-based desserts, nut cakes, gingerbread, dried fruit or dark chocolate, as these specifically pick up on the sherry-accentuated sweetness and spice. This whisky also unfolds its strengths with mature hard cheese or as a calm companion after a festive meal and impresses with its structure, balance and a pleasantly long-lasting impression.
