Tullibardine 5 Years Old 1970s

Sposetti & Paparone Import

This is a bottling for the Italian market, in the form of a youthful 5-year-old age statement that was the market preference. The Italian love of younger single malt was the discovery of Armando Giovinetti, the agent for Glen Grant in the 1960s. He, correctly, hypothesised that the lighter flavours of a 5-year-old malt would be better suited to the grappa-loving palate of his countrymen, and the continued success of the Glen Grant 5-year-old there today is testament to his foresight.
