- Description
- The 228 takes Tullibardine into wine-finished territory, its maturation completed in 228-litre Burgundy casks that impart red fruit, floral notes, and a gentle tannic structure to the spirit. The secondary maturation is restrained enough not to overpower the malt, creating a whisky that bridges traditional Highland character with wine-inspired elegance. The result is brighter and more nuanced than a straightforward bourbon-matured dram. A good choice for those curious about wine finishes but wanting Highland balance.
