Five sherry styles in one bottling: Manzanilla, Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso, and PX. The cask history is intriguing: in addition to first-fill sherry casks, refill PX casks that previously held Springbank sherry were used. This promises more than just sherry aromas. I still consider 46% ABV to be the ideal drinking strength, assuming the bottler dilutes it at all. To be fair, Tullibardine probably ranks only third in terms of image among whisky nerds. This makes bottlings like this all the more deserving of attention. Trying it is the best way to go! NOSE Dark fruits, raisins, and sweet sherry. Full and rounded. A very inviting fragrance. PALATE Very approachable, dark, really moist, and pleasantly sweet. I'm making a note of the date chocolate. With every sip, it becomes spicier and more balanced. FINISH / CONCLUSION Dark fruit and pleasant sherry notes, complemented by oak spice. It doesn't always have to be expensive! This is a successful experiment: a rich, opulent sherry malt, initially sweet, then with a pleasantly spicy side. That's exactly how I like it.

Excellent value for money. Rich and full-bodied, dark, syrupy, ranging from slightly sweet to pleasantly spicy. It gets better with every sip.

Perhaps a little too much of an exaggeration! Very good for its age and price!

Tried my first whisky at Whisky Live in Hamburg...and bought it later.

An exceptionally conceived single malt that interprets sherry cask maturation not simply as a stylistic device, but as a distinct spectrum in its own right. The Spectrum Series No. 1 unites PX, Oloroso, Fino, Amontillado, and Manzanilla in a single composition, creating a whisky that reflects the diverse facets of the sherry world with remarkable comprehensiveness. The interplay between fresh first-fill sherry casks and refill PX casks, previously used to mature Springbank, is particularly intriguing – a remarkable additional dimension within this already exceptional cask composition. From the salty, maritime character of Manzanilla, through the drier, nutty, and spicy notes of Fino and Amontillado, to the opulent sweetness of PX, a remarkable aromatic range emerges. Thus, the whisky doesn't come across as a classic "sherry bomb" malt, but rather as a multifaceted journey through the different styles of sherry. A truly unique and authentic concept that demonstrates how creatively a classic barrel category can be reinterpreted.

| Нос | 96 | Ripe dark fruits, raisins, and figs mingle with roasted nuts, almonds, and a hint of orange zest. Underlying these notes are drier, mineral, and slightly salty, increasingly reminiscent of Fino and Manzanilla. Subtle spices, wood polish, and a touch of malt bind the diverse impressions together. Intense and exceptionally complex. |
| Вкус | 95 | Robust, with dark fruit sweetness: raisins, dates, figs, and candied orange. The whisky then becomes drier and spicier, with walnuts, roasted almonds, a touch of pepper, and a pleasant oak spice. The interplay between sweet and dry sherry influences is particularly interesting. A slightly salty, maritime note lingers in the background, lending balance and tension to the otherwise rich character. |
| Финиш | 94 | Initially, dark fruits, chocolate, and sweet spices linger, before increasingly drier nutty and woody notes emerge. A delicate salty minerality and subtle maritime hints accompany the finish. The various sherry characteristics don't abruptly separate but rather intertwine to create a long, complex aftertaste. |
