Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Cask Finish [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that bridges the gap between Scottish tradition and French wine elegance?

The Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Cask Finish represents a masterful fusion of Highland craftsmanship and Burgundian sophistication. This exceptional whisky undergoes initial maturation in ex-Bourbon casks before receiving its distinctive character through finishing in 228-liter Burgundy wine casks from the prestigious Chateau de Chassagne-Montrachet. The Pinot Noir influence creates a complexity that rivals expressions like the Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask and Aberlour A’bunadh Alba in terms of wine cask innovation.
