DISTILLERY EDITION N°5
Greg Paterson, Senior Distillery & Warehouse Operator at Tullibardine, has been at the distillery since 2007. He has picked a Sauternes cask from that year which boasts notes of caramel, vanilla, and Scottish tablet from its time spent in ex-bourbon casks, while the final maturation in Sauternes releases aromas of white peach and ripe nectarines. An exquisitely balanced and complex dram.
DISTILLERY EDITION N°6
No.6 was chosen by Andy Simpson, a senior still house operator, who has worked at the distillery for over 12 years. He picked this cask for its unique infusion of signature Tullibardine notes of vanilla, caramel and toasted oak enriched with traditional rum flavours.
This deeply golden liquid boasts classic rum aromas of molasses, brown sugar, banana, and cinnamon. The palate is syrupy with a hint of spice which marries with the vanilla and caramel notes harmoniously. A deliciously spicy and sweet lingering finish.
DISTILLERY EDITION N°7
The final instalment of the Distillery Edition series is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape finish chosen by Andrea Duffy, Senior Bottling Hall Operator. She has been with Tullibardine for over 14 years and has chosen this special cask for its full-bodied aroma.
Concentrated notes of blackberries, blackcurrants and plums, with black pepper penetrating the plummy bouquet, the fruity fusion is further savoured on the palate and balanced by hints of vanilla and a touch of oak with a sweet, lingering finish.
