About the distillery

Located within the Highland Whisky region but sitting under Speyside in the Scottish midlands. The distillery is located in Auchterarder and enjoys a long history stretching as far back as 1488 where it was the site of an ancient brewery where King James IV bought ale on his way to Scone palace. The distillery proper was built in 1949 which makes it a relatively modern distillery. She takes her name from the Gaelic ‘Tullach Bhardainn’ meaning hill of warning and water from the supreme Danny Burn. The distillery currently lives outside the ownership of the big Whisky conglomerates, with its own cooperage, warehouse and bottling hall on site.

Our Bourbon Cask, was distilled during the distillery's resurgence following the 2003 acquisition. The distillery had been closed since 1995 until it was sold to an independent group of Whisky enthusiasts in 2003. Following the acquisition the distillery was brought under the assured management of John Black, a renowned figure in the Whisky industry with over 55 years of experience in the industry and who previously worked at Cardhu, Glenburgie, Miltonduff, Ardbeg, Glencadam, Balblair, Pultney, Auchentoshan, Tormore, Ardmore, Scapa and finally Tullibardine. John unfortunately passed away in 2013.

Tasting

A peach golden honey coloured Whisky from our Bourbon cask is a light dram bursting with vanilla and pears.

The burgeoning fruity nose expresses ripe peach with the sweet syrup of canned pears. A shortcrust pastry pear tarte on the palate with vanilla, green apples and the slightest powdered coconut. A peppery aftertaste with lightly dusted chocolate and more sweet baked fruits.
