50ml / Mini bottles of the Tullibardine 225 can be found here
Tullibardine has three wood finishes, each of them starts with the Sovereign as a base and then uses a wine cask for finishing. For about 12 months, Tullibardine Sovereign has been finished off in Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes Casks, which are 225 litres in size.
Tullibardine located in the southern Highland town of Blackford, just north of Perth, was the first distillery built in Scotland after World War II. The distillery sits on the site of a series of breweries which date back more than 500 years. In 1488 King James IV, then aged 14, paid a visit to a brewery in Blackford to purchase beer for his coronation.

Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: A twist of lemon peel and some pine sap plus honey. Wood spices, fresh malt, vanilla pods, sponge cake, and ginger tea are also in the mix.
Palate: Creamy a spicy upon hitting the tongue with notes of almond paste, lemon curd, more honey, poached pear slices, and more ginger.
Finish: Creamy and nutty with apple and pear notes and a fading spiciness.
Comment: Well-put-together cask finish. The Sauternes casks add dimension to Tullibardine’s malt-driven style.
