Description
Tullibardine's 13-year-old from 1965, independently bottled by WM Cadenhead in 1978, captures the Highland distillery in its formative years under Brodie Hepburn's ownership. Distilled just 16 years after the distillery's founding, this rare bottle preserves a snapshot of Tullibardine's early house style—restrained, elegant, and marked by subtle grain character and gentle oak influence. The decades in bottle have allowed its flavors to achieve balance and depth uncommon in spirits so lightly peated or colored. A historical curiosity for serious collectors and those studying how Scottish distilleries evolved.
