The sweet wine is evident from the off overlaying freshly scraped vanilla and gentle oak notes, then a tannic red wine note comes in adding a hint of a metallic note along with some light soft worn leather along with a deep bitter dark chocolate element. Given time to sit in the glass a soft fruits note, a cross between lychee and nectarine, comes in.

Tullibardine The Murray Marsala Cask Finish Review
Tullibardine is a distillery I've not spent nearly enough time with, despite liking a number of their drams, from the old discontinued Banyals Finish to the 225 Sauternes cask i tend to like them a little sweeter and in both these circumstances finished in wine casks.
Move on to the new The Murray which is a 2006 vintage finished in marsala wine casks this sounds like it could be right up my street and one I'd be really rather keen on.
Sweet, fruity, rich, spicy, chilli heat, theres a real mix of flavours in here that keep appearing the more you nose and the more you sip, it's a really interesting dram and one i like, a lot!
Thanks to Keith from Tullibardine for the sample.
