Tullibardine’s Sauternes Cask Finish isn’t just finished, it’s transformed. After initial aging in ex-bourbon casks, this Highland single malt is matured in sweet French Sauternes wine barrels, resulting in a dram that’s silky, honeyed, and decadently different. It’s dessert in a glass, without being cloying.
