Tullibardine Tasting Collection 4 x 5cl & Tomintoul Tasting Pack 3 x 5cl

In 1949 William Delme Evans began work converting a brewery into what is now the Tullibardine distillery; and as the Gleneagles Brewery in Blackford had previously been brewing alcohol since 1488, it is one of the oldest sites in Scotland for distilling and brewing. In 1488 James IV (the King who famously asked Friar John Cor to make aqua vitae from eight bolls of malt in 1495) stopped to buy a barrel of ale after his coronation at Scone.

After being silent from 1994 to 2003, Tullibardine is now owned by Picard Vins & Spiritueux since 2011. The company also own the Highland Queen and Muirhead’s brands.

Tomintoul Distillery was built in 1965 and then purchased by Whyte & Mackay in 1973. It is situated on the banks of the Spey’s main tributary, the Avon. The distillery is named after the nearby village of Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland. 

Starting life as a small site with two stills, the number has since doubled. Its style also appears to have shifted on at least two occasions from the overtly fruity manifestations of its earliest guise to a more cereal-accented make in recent years.

In 2000, Tomintoul was bought over by Angus Dundee Distillers, the distillery produces mature spirit for blends as well as releasing their own single malts. The distillery also produces a peated version named “Old Ballantruan”.
