Tullibardine 1973 Vintage Edition

Branding may suggest Tullibardine is much older, but a whisky distillery has only existed on the site since 1949 when it was founded by William Delme-Evans. Since its arrival, a handful of owners have arrived and departed, leaving Tullibardine struggling to establish an identity. Some have had left a debatable wood policy combined with a lack of investment that left Tullibardine largely ignored by whisky enthusiasts. Left to provide blending stock, or more affordable single malts, the distillery could have continued on this path. However, there has been a sizeable investment in the site, resulting in a huge expansion, since Terroir Distillers (Picard Vins) took over in 2009. The whole site that used to be retail outlets with a distillery in the corner is now part of Tullibardine. Visitor centre facilities have been upgraded and the whole operation has changed beyond recognition. The new 15 year old showcases the future of this distillery and makes it one to watch.
