Tullibardine 2012 8 Year Old Firkin 49 Oloroso & Amontillado Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

This is a soft and somewhat creamy whisky. We paired this Tullibardine with two styles of sherry: nutty Amontillado and a rich Oloroso. Edgar Alan Poe made Amontillado sherry famous. It is a fascinating evolution of the Fino sherry style. 

The Flor process (yeast fermentation & covering in the barrel) produced both sherry styles. But the Amontillado goes a step further. Amontillado’s ageing and oxidation develops into a unique dry & nutty flavour.

The 50 /50 combination of Amontillado and Oloroso sherries gives you a unique profile. It’s creamy, rounded and nutty, with elements of dried fruit.

The sherries, combined with our custom-made double oak casks, results is a stunning new take on Tullibardine. It’s an excellent combination of creamy malt, nuttiness and richness.

It’s so soft & nutty; Firkin 49 Single Cask Single malt is extraordinary Firkin whisky. 

Tasting Notes:

This is a cracker. It’s long, narrow and jam-packed with creamy butterscotch toffee. It has crisp malt and some fruit oak that hangs around with a tad of cinnamon and sweet biscuit.
