FIRKIN 49, A WHISKY AND TWO SHERRIES GO INTO A BOTTLE
Tullibardine Distillery founded in 1949, the same year as Mike Collings, the Firkin Founder. The distillery is at the gateway to the Highlands, close by the Ochil Hills about 50 miles north-west of Edinburgh
To make this Firkin Rare whisky, we took a 2012 Tullibabardine matured in a first fill Bourbon barrel, which is a pretty good dram.
But with the magic of two types of sherry and our custom casks, we transformed it into an outstanding 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.
