Tullibardine Distillery is located in Blackford, Perthshire. Tullibardine’s history of brewing and distilling dates back to 1488, when King James IV of Scotland stopped by the site, a brewery at the time, to purchase beer. This was recorded as the first public purchase of beer in Scotland.
William Delme-Evans, a distillery specialist, founded the distillery in 1949. William found that the mineral rich character and purity of the water from nearby springs situated in Perthshire’s Ochil Hills was perfect for distillation. The Ochil Hills are well known for the gold that was once mined from them.
In 1995, its then owner, Whyte and Mackay, mothballed it, but Tullibardine Distillery Ltd resumed production after acquiring it in 2003. Picard Vins & Spiritueux, a French firm, took over the company in 2011. The distillery is now thriving with a cooperage, maturation warehouses, blending facility and a bottling line all located on-site.
The twelfth limited edition in the Tullibardine Marquess Collection marries together three types of Port cask: White Port, Tawny Port and Ruby Port. Resulting in a delicately blushed peach spirit which imbues a cacophony of sweet, fruity and warming aromas and flavours.
The nose delivers tart raspberries and succulent black fruits, perfectly balanced with a subtle hint of baked apple and crème caramel from the White Port. The Tawny Port, aged in oak barrels bring layers of spiced oak, cloves and cinnamon. Creates a spicy and warming finish. They distilled this unique expression in 2008 and bottled it in 2022, limiting the release to just 18,278 bottles globally.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
