- Description
- This 25-year Tullibardine, distilled in 1990 and matured in a single refill hogshead until 2016, showcases Highland single malt's capacity for elegant, measured development over decades. Refill wood allows the distillery's underlying orchard-fruit and honeyed-grain character to evolve without overwhelming oak, creating a whisky that gains complexity without losing identity. The long maturation adds subtle dried-fruit and spice notes while maintaining the delicate floral touches typical of Tullibardine. Limited to 174 bottles, this represents mature Highland whisky at its most refined for serious collectors.
