Summary

Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Finish is a single malt whisky that showcases the unique influence of Burgundy wine casks. This whisky is matured initially in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels before being transferred to 228-liter Burgundy wine casks for a finishing period. The result is a spirit that beautifully marries the rich, fruity characteristics of the wine with the smooth, malty base of the whisky, creating a complex and inviting profile.

On the nose, this whisky offers a delightful bouquet of red berries, vanilla, and subtle hints of chocolate, inviting you to explore further. The palate is equally engaging, with flavors of ripe cherries, creamy toffee, and a touch of spice, all balanced by a gentle oak influence. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering sweetness and a hint of dried fruit.

This whisky is perfect for those who appreciate a well-rounded and flavorful single malt with a touch of elegance. Its unique finishing process in Burgundy wine casks adds depth and complexity, making it a delightful choice for both novice and experienced whisky drinkers alike.
