- Teaninich's 13-year-old, distilled in 2008 and bottled by Fable Whisky from a single refill hogshead, exemplifies Highland spirit matured without excessive wood influence. The refill cask preserves the distillery's inherent character—dried fruit, light spice, and a touch of orchard sweetness—without overwhelming sherry or oak dominance. The bottling is limited to 299 bottles, each featuring artwork inspired by Scottish folklore. For those seeking understated Highland character and collectors who value artisanal presentation.
