Tullibardine

Tullibardine: to distillery main page

Tullibardine is a distillery situated a few miles south of Glenturret, just near the water bottling plant Highland Spring. The visit of this distillery was not planned, but it has been one of the most exciting visits.
Per chance, John Black came along, while I was taking some pictures of the distillery. He invited us to have a closer look on the buildings.
The distillery is mothballed since years, and would be demolished. Fortunately, a small investors group, (John Black, retired manager of Old Pulteney is one of them) decided to revive this distillery.
Large repairing works are done currently, with amongst others, the construction of a visitor centre.
It is the intention of the owners to sell exclusively single malt.
