Tullibardine 2013/2026 The Murray - Cask Strength Edition - 1st Fill Bourbon Barrels

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 56.1% | Chill filtration: No | Colouring: No

Special Features:

Distilled in 2013, this Highland single malt matured entirely in first-fill bourbon barrels. It was bottled in 2026 at a cask strength of 56.1%, with natural colour and without chill filtration. The edition is limited to 9,800 bottles worldwide.

The first-fill bourbon barrels bring together vanilla and vanilla cream with roasted barley malt and butterscotch. Dark fruit, nuts, toasted oak and subtle woody spice give structure to the sweetness; overall, the whisky is medium-bodied and spicy.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Vanilla pod and creamy vanilla custard combine with roasted barley malt and light pastry.
• Palate: Butterscotch and honeycomb meet dark fruit, toasted oak, nuts and subtle woody spice.
• Finish: Warming vanilla shapes a smooth, rounded and lingering finish.
