Firkin Whiskey Co. Firkin 49 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750 ml)

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. 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.

Tasting Notes: 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 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.
