Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Finish
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

Either this is a recent behind-the-bar addition to my usual spot, or else I've just not noticed it before. Tullibardine seems like that sort of malt, though - the pleasant (if not life altering) surprise that's overlooked in favor of other, more fabled offerings. It's a pity, too - while the 228's wine-inflected red fruit (classic Burgundy for you), cocoa powder, and vanilla creme notes aren't anything groundbreaking, they're nonetheless extremely pleasant. I wish the finish were longer and perhaps a bit less hot (no age given, so I'm assuming young spirit is to blame), but it's a worthwhile dram.

Haven't tried any Tullibardines yet, but this is the one that intrigues me the most
