The Firkin Whisky Co. -Tullibardine 2012 Aged 8 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Owned by Picard Vins & Spiritueux the Tullibardine Highland Distillery was set up to produce a light, nutty malt which was mostly used when young and aged in refill casks for buyer-own blends. You can now expect more high toned floral notes with the nuttiness being toned down on previous bottlings.

Only 306 bottles were produced for worldwide distribution.
