The Story

About Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Cask Finish

Tullibardine Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made exclusively from locally-sourced malted barley. Once the grains arrive at the distillery, they are milled and mashed before being fermented in the distillery's washbacks. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled by John Black, Tullibardine's master distiller, through the distillery's copper-pot stills (the stills were installed in 1974). Black, who was born in 1942 at the Cardhu Distillery, has spent over five decades in the Scotch whisky industry.

Tullibardine Highland 228 Burgundy Finish Scotch Whisky is aged in American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. After its initial beauty rest, it is finished for one year in 228-liter, red burgundy wine casks sourced from the Chateau de Chassagne Montrachet. As a result, the whisky has a slightly crimson hue, with an aroma of red berries, toasted oak and vanilla. The palate has notes of nutty dough and vanilla custard, along with touches of apple peel, honeyed oak and raspberries. The finish is long and elegant, with touches of plums, strawberry jam and baking spices.

228 Burgundy Finish Whisky represents a unique spirit, distilled in time-honored tradition and finished with a modern twist.

About Tullibardine

Following his coronation at the Scone Palace in 1488, King James IV purchased a keg of beer at the Tullibardine Brewery, the first public brewery in Scotland. At the time, the brewery used crystal clear spring water that flowed from the Ochil Hills down to the brewery in order to craft its unique ales. Nearly five centuries later, a Welshman named William Delme Evans purchased the brewery and converted it into a distillery (Evans was also responsible for designing the Jura and Glenallachie distilleries). In 1949, the first drops of Scotch whisky flowed from the distillery's stills, and today — over six decades later — the distillery continues to use much of the same ingredients and methods that the Tullibardine Brewery used in crafting King James' beer, including the same crystal clear spring water.

About Scotch

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
