- Description
- Tullibardine's Highland distillery character is thoroughly transformed by 12 years in a Pedro Ximénez sherry cask, creating a rich, fruit-forward expression. Bottled at cask strength by Cadenhead's from just 210 bottles, this represents fully mature spirit with concentrated sherry influence—dark fruit, molasses, and warming spice dominate the palate. The cask strength presentation maintains natural texture and complexity without dilution. A release for sherry enthusiasts and those appreciating how extreme cask influence can redefine a distillery's identity.
