Drawn from a second-fill sherry hogshead, this 2013 Tullibardine has spent 11 years finding its balance. Bottled at a sessionable 53% after a few degrees’ reduction, it shows the best of both worlds: robust Highland malt character in step with elegant, restrained sherry influence.

It’s a whisky that speaks with clarity – fruit and malt still shining through the sherry’s warmth – and drinks with ease. Charismatic, balanced, and dangerously quaffable.
