Upon the first encounter, Tullibardine Sherry 500 unveils a rich and aromatic profile. The nose is greeted with notes of dried fruits, raisins, and a hint of dark chocolate. The bourbon cask foundation provides a subtle vanilla sweetness, complemented by the deep and indulgent characteristics imparted by the Pedro Ximenez sherry butts. The palate is a journey through layers of honeyed sweetness, warm spices, and a velvety mouthfeel. Raisins and figs emerge, creating a harmonious blend of sherry influence and Tullibardine's signature maltiness. The finish is long-lasting, leaving a lingering warmth with echoes of sweet sherry and oak.
