Tullibardine Distillery, nestled in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, has a remarkable story of resurrection and reinvention. After lying silent for a decade, the distillery was acquired in 2003 by whisky industry veterans Michael Beamish and Doug Ross, former directors of DCL and United Spirits. Their vision was ambitious: to restore the distillery to its former glory while integrating it with an adjacent commercial complex to create a unique whisky destination. Despite their expertise in distillery revival, the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent real estate market collapse forced a strategic reassessment. The economic downturn shuttered most of the commercial center's retail operations, challenging the original business model. By 2008, even with positive balance sheet indicators from 2007, the owners began exploring acquisition opportunities. The turning point came in 2013 when French spirits group Picard Vins & Spiritueux recognized the distillery's potential. Under new ownership, Tullibardine underwent a dramatic transformation. The once-chaotic production was streamlined into a sophisticated portfolio of distinctive expressions. The shuttered commercial center was ingeniously repurposed into a state-of-the-art visitor experience center, complete with bottling lines, blending rooms, expanded warehousing, and a specialized cask workshop. Today, Tullibardine serves as the spiritual home for the renowned Highland Queen blend, while establishing its own prestigious single malt identity. The compact yet efficient facility features a 6.2-ton semi-lauter stainless steel mash tun, nine fermenters with a 55-60 hour fermentation period, two 21,000-liter wash stills, and two 16,000-liter spirit stills. Production capacity reached 2.8 million liters of new spirit in 2019, with 26-27 mashes weekly. All spirit matures initially in premium bourbon casks. The core range showcases innovative cask finishes: the non-age-statement Sovereign (bourbon), 225 (Château wine casks), 228 (Burgundy casks), and 500 (Sherry casks), complemented by aged statements of 20 and 25 years. The prestigious Custodian's Collection, launched in 2015, features exceptional vintages including a landmark 1964 release in 2019. The Murray 2004, the distillery's first cask strength bottling since 2000, debuted to critical acclaim, followed by a Marsala cask edition in October 2018.

This dram’s got a proper creamy thing going on, like yoghurt mixed with honey and marmalade, but not too sharp – no sourness here, just smooth sweetness. Crushed bananas and sweet potatoes come through, mellow and a bit earthy, while that caraway kick reminds me of pumpernickel bread crusts. There’s a whisper of smoked tea and orange juice lingering, almost like a breakfast spread. The texture’s medium-bodied, not too oily, though there’s a hint of spent oils in the background. It’s excellent, mind, but not quite a surprise – feels like a cosy kitchen, all rich breads and half-remembered Sunday mornings. A proper hit, that.

Firstsip feels like a hit of muesli toasted with honey, a touch of pumpernickel and white wine vibes. There’s a hint of crushed bananas and plantain, almost bacterial notes but not quite a surprise. Sweet potatoes and rich breads peek through, with yoghurty notes and a drizzle of honeys on honey and oranges. Overall a solid hit or miss for me 😊

First sip hits with this creamy yoghurty thing, no sourness just smooth, yeah? Medium bodied, not too heavy. The marmalade and orange juice come through lovely, sweet but not cloying. Got these honeys – maybe a touch of honeycomb and spooned marmalade on rich breads, like thick toast. There's a hint of spent oils, almost garage-y, but not off-putting. Plantain and sweet potatoes give it a earthy sweetness too, weirdly nice with the yoghurt notes. Crushed bananas and muesli in the background, makes me think of breakfast. Olive oil and caraway add a subtle savoury twist. Tyres? Maybe a smoky edge, but it's balanced. Almost no fermentary bite, which is grand. It’s a bit hit or miss at first, but then it settles into this excellent mix – bread and biscuits, a bit pumpernickel? Proper drinkable, reminds me of a cosy kitchen. 👍

This dram hits you with a right proper mix of marmalade and orange juice upfront, like a breakfast spread gone wild. There's a subtle yoghurty note, not too sour, and a touch of honey that reminds me of drizzle on toast. The pumpernickel and muesli give it a hearty, grainy backbone, while crushed bananas add a weird but oddly pleasant sweetness. But then there's this garage-y whiff underneath – spent oils and a whiff of tyres that's not quite my cup of tea. It's not the surprise I was hoping for, more hit or miss. The almost bacterial tang and a slick of olive oil make me think it's been lingering in the cask a bit too long. Still, the sweet potatoes and smoked tea undertones keep it from being a total write-off. A bit quirky, but I'd give it another go. 🥃

First whiff’s a bit garage-y, like old tyres and oil, but then it opens up—warm pumpernickel, a hint of caraway, almost like a slice of rich bread with honey drizzled on. Sip’s smooth, no sour bite, just orange juice and marmalade sweetness, a touch of smoked tea lingering. Yoghurt notes peek through, but it’s not funky, just... pleasant. Medium finish, leaves you with that muesli and plantain vibe. Not bad at all 🍯
