A richly sherried Highland single malt from Tullibardine distillery, distilled in 2005 and matured for 21 years in a single 1st fill sherry hogshead. Bottled by Decadent Drinks for their Decadent Drams range at natural cask strength, 55.6% vol., with just 274 bottles filled.
A follow-up to Whisky Sponge Edition No.79, this latest release promises an intensely sherried dram, with dark fruits, chocolate, savoury depth and a long, spicy finish. One for those who enjoy their sherry casks on the darker side.
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Plums galore! Damson jam, plum wine, plum sauce, molten chocolate sauce, cranberry gravy, game sauce, sweet black liquorice, soy sauce - a whisky entirely about the sherry cask, but WHAT a sherry cask it is!
Palate
Like drinking mulled wine from an oiled walnut goblet while plunging into a vat of soy sauce wearing an astronaut suit whittled from 95% cocoa dark chocolate! Plus clove.
Finish
Long, drying, very herbal, invigoratingly bitter, spicy and bready. All the colours of the walnut rainbow on display in the aftertaste!
