Once the grains arrive at the distillery, they are milled and mashed before being fermented in the distillery's washbacks. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled by John Black, Tullibardine's master distiller, through the distillery's copper-pot stills (the stills were installed in 1974). Black, who was born in 1942 at the Cardhu Distillery, has spent over five decades in the Scotch whisky industry.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nTullibardine Highland 228 Burgundy Finish Scotch Whisky is aged in American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. After its initial beauty rest, it is finished for one year in 228-liter, red burgundy wine casks sourced from the Chateau de Chassagne Montrachet. As a result, the whisky has a slightly crimson hue, with an aroma of red berries, toasted oak and vanilla. The palate has notes of nutty dough and vanilla custard, along with touches of apple peel, honeyed oak and raspberries. The finish is long and elegant, with touches of plums, strawberry jam and baking spices.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n228 Burgundy Finish Whisky represents a unique spirit, distilled in time-honored tradition and finished with a modern twist. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up one of each today!                            \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Tullibardine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            Following his coronation at the Scone Palace in 1488, King James IV purchased a keg of beer at the Tullibardine Brewery, the first public brewery in Scotland. At the time, the brewery used crystal clear spring water that flowed from the Ochil Hills down to the brewery in order to craft its unique ales. Nearly five centuries later, a Welshman named William Delme Evans purchased the brewery and converted it into a distillery (Evans was also responsible for designing the Jura and Glenallachie distilleries). In 1949, the first drops of Scotch whisky flowed from the distillery's stills, and today — over six decades later — the distillery continues to use much of the same ingredients and methods that the Tullibardine Brewery used in crafting King James' beer, including the same crystal clear spring water.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTullibardine Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made exclusively from locally-sourced malted barley.
