Tullibardine Unveils The Murray 2013 Cask Strength

Tullibardine Expands The Marquess Collection with The Murray 2013 Cask Strength

The Highland distillery Tullibardine has introduced Tullibardine 2013 The Murray , a new addition to its Marquess Collection. Distilled in 2013 and bottled at a robust 56.1% ABV, this single malt presents another chance to experience Tullibardine’s distinctive character at cask strength. The release consists of 9,800 bottles matured exclusively in bourbon barrels, highlighting traditional Highland whisky craftsmanship.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

This expression has been aged in bourbon casks, contributing to its creamy vanilla and roasted oak profile. The maturation period of around a decade allows the whisky to develop a rich texture with complex layers that combine luscious sweetness and subtle spice.

Master Blender’s Statement

Mike Elliott, General Manager of Tullibardine Distillery, highlights the appeal:
“Our cask-strength Murray editions have been popular since the range was launched, offering our customers the chance to experience the distillery’s character at full strength from first-fill bourbon barrels. It’s something we are frequently asked for, and we hope this expression will be well received by our loyal following.”

Tasting Notes

• Finish: Long, with lingering sweetness and oak spices
