as an example , fluorocarbons or per - and polyfluorinated compounds ( pfcs ) are still frequently used as water repellents , even though this group of chemicals are known to be bio - accumulative and some are even hormone - disruptive . organoclick is marketing a fluorocarbon - free water repellent additive for textiles and nonwovens , called oc - aquasil tex™ , enabling the complete phase out of the toxic fluorocarbons .
“filippa k stands for style , simplicity , quality , and we design products to be long lasting . our ambition is to leave a minimal environmental and social footprint by choosing the right materials , the best practices in production and the best partners in the value chain . using organoclick’s fluorocarbon - free and biodegradable water repellent technology is an important step as we strive to achieve the best possible materials , ”
durable water - repellent ( dwr ) treatments for garments almost always involve the use of environmentally harmful fluorocarbons that do not degrade in nature and are hormone disrupting . swedish cleantech company organoclick has developed an alternative water repellent technology that is free from fluorocarbons , non - toxic and readily biodegradable . the first fashion garments containing the new eco - friendly dwr have now been put on the market by filippa k ,
sweden - based organoclick ab , a developer and provider of biofiber materials and chemical products , has introduced two technologies based on biodegradable ingredients – organotex™ , a water - repellent finish for cellulose - based fabrics that uses no fluorocarbons or other chemicals that are toxic to the environment ; and oc - biobinder™ , a biopolymer - based binder that is used to improve mechanical properties of cellulose - based nonwoven and coated textiles .
the daughter company organowood ab is a product company for sales and marketing of the wood preservative organowood™ . the company was founded in 2010 as a joint - venture with our partner kvigos ab . organoclick ab holds 54 , 5 % of the share capital ( 59 , 4 % of the voting rigths ) in organowood ab , and kvigos ab holds 35 , 5 % of the share capital ( 38 , 6 % of the voting rigths ) .
through the use of the organoclick® - technology for modification of biofibers , the speed of the fossilization process has been effectively increased . the silicon - based compounds used in the products are also strongly attached to the wood fibers so that the modified wood can be placed in wet outdoor environments with a very long durability of the wooden materials improved properties . in addition to modified wood organowood is also available as a do - it - yourself surface treatment product .
fluorocarbons or perfluorocarbons ( pfcs ) such as pfoa and pfos are the collective terms used for a group of chemical substances frequently used in water repellent textile treatments since the 1950s . however , fluorocarbons have a number of less desirable properties ; they break down slowly in nature , are suspected of causing cancer and are hormone disrupting . organoclick has developed a fluorocarbon - free water repellent technology using plant - based catalysts and organic polymers that are highly water repellent yet biodegradable .
“the textile processing industry has for many years relied on chemicals that are very effective , but on the other hand are often not degradable in nature and even may cause severe effects on eco - systems or on human health , ” said mårten hellberg , ceo , organoclick . “as customers are starting to realize this problem , we believe that our new products have a tremendous potential for textile manufacturers or textile product brands desiring to combine sustainable and organic textiles with functionality . ”
flhea focuses on the upscaling and chemical modification of micro and and nanoreinforcements based in hemp and flax , and its subsequent processing to obtain new biodegradable composites with improved properties . this is an european project , funded by the 7th r + d framework programme of the european union , led by the packaging , transport & logistics research center ( itene ) , within a consortium which also involves the university of the basque country ( upv / ehu ) , melodea , rodenburg biopolymers , arctic fiber organoclick ab and termoformas del levante .
research and development the technology was developed by professor armando córdova and associated professor jonas hafén and their research groups studying biomimetic processes . based on their research they have developed a technology that can change the properties of cellulose fibers so that these become water repellent , stronger and resistant to flame and decay . this technology is now used in applications such as flame and rot - resistant timber , strengthened paper materials and water repellent textiles . organoclick performs research and development over a wide area and participates in the following swedish government or eu funded projects :
paper production , for example , requires a lot of energy . in fact , making paper is one of the most energy - consuming industrial processes that exists . reducing energy consumption in the production process can be achieved by reducing the raw material ( wood ) that is needed – i . e . dropping what is called the surface weight . but cutting surface weight also reduces paper’s strength and stiffness . organoclick’s process links and strengthens fibers in paper using natural biopolymers . this results in a reduction of raw material use without effecting the paper’s stiffness or strength .
the industries and production processes of our modern society have a lot to learn from nature , e . g . the way ecosystems generate energy and manage to produce no waste at all . organoclick offers solutions inspired by nature that can greatly reduce resource and energy consumption in several industrial products and processes . the technology can make cardboard and corrugated board stronger and lighter , which greatly reduces material consumption and emissions from transport . if 30 percent of all cardboard is produced with this technology in 2020 , this technology will reduce co2 emissions by 22 million tons / year . similar solutions can also be applied in other areas such as textiles and wood treatment .

thank you for visiting tullibardine distillery . we are glad you found the tour interesting . unfortunately being a small distillery sometimes the noise is unavoidable . the whisky tastings always seem to go down well ! and we are very glad you enjoyed this . we would love to . . .
tullibardine stands proudly in the village of blackford – the gateway to the highlands . for decades this independent , family owned distillery has been producing handcrafted single malt scotch whisky .
“we are very pleased that keith is joining the team as master blender here at tullibardine , ” said john torrance , distillery manager at the terroirs distillers - owned site .
in 1953 tullibardine distillery was sold to the company of brodie hepburn . later decades saw a number of further changes of ownership . invergordon distillers took over in 1971 and two years later they doubled the capacity of the the distillery by adding a second pair of stills . another takeover followed in 1993 , but the outcome this time was rather different and in 1994 production ceased and the distillery was mothballed .
tullibardine distillery is not a pretty distillery in the traditional sense : and neither does it carry what is usually recognised as the
signature
of a distillery , the pagoda that in many older distilleries would once have topped off a drying kiln for malt . these are so iconic that even though the large majority of distilleries no longer malt their own barley , those that have pagodas have tended to keep them .
the site dates back to late 1940s as a distillery for producing hand crafted , highland single malt scotch whisky . since 2011 , the distillery has been under the ownership of the independent , family - owned spirits company , terroirs distillers . tullibardine’s expert and experienced guides and distillery staff are able to give visitors a detailed insight into the craftsmanship and detail that goes into making our single malt whisky and the art of distillation .
the second is that the distillery visitor centre forms one end of the eaglesgate retail village . even the best distillery tours are not everyone ' s idea of a good time , and the combination of different attractions on one site means that you can enjoy your tour of the distillery secure in the knowledge that other members of your party are having an equally good time shopping .
the distillery visitor centre is a large white building bridging the corner between the distillery and the retail development and carrying the logo
tullibardine 1488
. this is a reference to an important early customer . pure water flowing down from the ochil hills is an important factor in the success of tullibardine as a distillery . it was an equally important factor for those who by the 1100s had established a brewery on the site now occupied by the distillery , one of three that once operated in blackford . such was the fame of the brewery here that in 1488 king james iv asked it to supply the beer for his coronation .

tullibardine distillery stands at the western end of the village of blackford , which itself stands in the shadow of the ochil hills and on the north side of the main a9 about half way between stirling and perth . this makes tullibardine one of scotland ' s most easily accessible distilleries : and yet both the whisky it produces and the distillery itself remain less well known than they ought to be .

two other factors make a visit to tullibardine distillery a particularly attractive proposition . the first is that the internal layout means that most of the key stages in the production process are housed in one large area . this produces a space with a huge amount of character and a lot of visual appeal : it also makes the processes a little easier to understand for those on their first distillery visit .

tullibardine works with nine stainless steel washbacks . fermentation lasts at least 52 hours .
tullibardine whisky distillery was founded in 1949 on the site of an old brewery , one which was said to have brewed ale for king james iv’s coronation back in 1488 ! the brewery itself dated back to the 12th century so it ' s fair to say that the site has had an incredibly long brewing and distilling history . named for tullibardine moor , the distillery draws its water from the danny burn and lies to the south - west of blackford . the area is renowned for the purity of its water , indeed highland spring is bottled locally . queen helen , the wife of king magnus of alba , drowned in a ford after falling from her horse not far from the town and blackford was named accordingly . following purchase by invergordon in 1971 , tullibardine’s stills capacity was increased from two to four . two decades later , invergordon was acquired by whyte and mackay and a year later the whisky distillery was shut down . in december of 2003 , the distillery was put back into production following the june acquisition of tullibardine for the sum of £1 . 1 million . a year later a café and shop were opened at the tullibardine distillery , which today has a capacity of 2 . 5 million litres per annum .
in 1973 the number of stills here at tullibardine was increased from two to four by invergordon distillers who had taken over the distillery in 1971 . the wash stills are 21 . 500 liters by volume , the spirit stills 16 . 200 liters .
these original brewery buildings were converted into the tullibardine distillery by william delme evans in 1947 . in 1949 the first spirit was produced . brody hepburn bought tullibardine in 1953 but was itself purchased by invergordon distillers in 1971 . they increased the capacity by doubling the number of stills to four and made the brand tullibardine famous . when tullibardine was taken over by whyte & macky in 1993 it only took one year until it was mothballed . it almost took ten years until tullibardine got back into production after it had been aquired by a private consortium for £1 . 1 million . since 2011 the distillery is in the possesion of the french wine and spirits group picard vins & spiritueux that already had had its hands on the whisky brand highland queen .
a consortium of investors purchases tullibardine for £1 . 1m and brings it back into operation

, the first reference to whisky on scotland . well , yes , but in this instance the reference is to a brewery which stood on the site of the current distillery , also patronised , it would seem , by james iv . tullibardine distillery is a traditional highland working distillery , they don ' t use modern methods to produce what is known as a
1 ) the previous owners obtained the tullibardine distillery in 2003 . at the time , most
standard
bottlings of single malt whisky were ten or twelve years old - so most people people expected the first
new
tullibardine whiskies to be released around 2014 . however , the tullibardine aged oak edition ( without an age statement ) that was available at the beginning of 2011 exclusively contains whisky that was made under the new owners management .
there has been a total revamp of tullibardine’s whisky range in 2013 : tullibardine sovereign , sauterness , sherry and burgundy , malts with no age statement , were established . the special wood finish always takes about 12 months . tullibardine 20 year old and 25 year old were released as a supplement and meanwhile tullibardine started a new series called custodian collection . first edition was a 60 year old ( ! ) tullibardine that had been distilled in 1952 . the tullibardine whiskies of former times were known as being a bit oily and transporting floral and nutty notes . the new set up by the new owners kept the light , floral and malty character but the intensive wood management doesn’t’ make it easy to define a distinctive distillery character .

in 2015 tullibardin’s goal was to produce 2 . 5 million liters and as they just bought buildings of a former retail park to create more warehouses and a bottling plant we can suspect an increasing production . in the 1970s tullibardine was a famous brand , sold all over the world and the new owners are on their way to recreate this success . whisky production stands and falls with the water supply and this is one of tullibardine’s big brownie points : the danny burn that provides the distillery with fresh and clean water is fed with water that comes from the surrounding ochil hills . they were once formed with layers of basalt and sandstone and when the water reaches the distillery it has taken a 15 - year - lasting way through all these natural filters . production at tullibardine distillery still follows traditional methods and renounces modern computerized technologies as far as possible .
tullibardine is actually not the oldest scottish distillery but regarding the first step of the whisky production it is one of the methuselahs of the business : the visit of king james 4th of scotland of the local brewery situated here before is known as the first recorded purchase of beer . that was in 1488 , long before in 1949 the first spirit was distilled here at tullibardine in perthshire .
“as a group of shareholders we recognised our limitations in terms of being able to invest further behind the distillery and the brand without taking significant investment from external sources , ” said mr ross .
we toured tullibardine distillery because of its proximity to edinburgh and because i enjoy their whisky . the tour was fantastic ! it was informative and our guide , ion , was hilarious . the small tour group ( of five ) quickly became friends thanks to ion joking with us until . . .
geddes added : “i feel very privileged to be taking on the role of master blender at tullibardine . the distillery is home to an array of remarkable expressions , and i’m looking forward to further evolve the brand and to deliver the character and quality of the whisky , from production to bottle .
picard vins & spiritueux bought the business from a group of private investors who brought the blackford malt distillery back into production in 2003 after it had been mothballed under its previous owners for 10 years .

the brewery on the site fell out of use in the early 1900s , and in 1947 it was purchased by a welshman by the name of william delme evans with a view to conversion into a distillery . evans was an engineer and set out to design a distillery which operated with the maximum possible efficiency . elements of his design remain very obvious today , including the single room layout of the production processes and the efficient way that heat is extracted and recycled using condensers . the first spirit emerged from tullibardine ' s stills in 1949 .

while details of the trans - action were not published , the deal seems likely to have generated a good return for the shareholders who supported the £1 . 1m purchase of the distillery from jim beam brands in 2003 .
tullibardine 25 year old 1989 ( cask 2671 ) - the coopers choice ( the vintage malt whisky co . )
distilling was also tried . in 1798 , william & henry bannerman opened the first tullibardine distillery , though it only ran for a year . in 1814 , andrew bannerman ( presumably a relative ) tried again . this time it operated until 1837 . by the 19th century , the town had a maltings and three breweries : the original one , gleneagles brewery , now owned by the sharp family , the other two by the eadie family . both of eadie’s plants closed by the turn of the 20th century , leaving gleneagles to soldier on until 1927 . at this point it seemed as if this rich tradition had finally ceased , but in 1949 the famous distillery designer william delme - evans bought the gleneagles brewery site and built a new distillery there . it was the first to be built in scotland since 1900 .
in june 2003 the distillery and existing stocks of tullibardine whisky in bonded warehouses on the site were purchased by a group of four private individuals with a passion for whisky : and that december , production recommenced after a gap of over nine years . a visitor centre opened late in 2004 , and the neighbouring retail village has arrived on the scene since .
mr picard added that the existing management will remain in place at tullibardine and there will be no redundancies following the deal .
three vintage malts , from 1964 , 1973 and 1988 respectively , are launched . tullibardine 1488 shop and 1488 café opens .
the tour concludes with a visit to the tasting room , before you re - emerge in the back of the visitor centre , reflecting on a great tour of an excellent distillery conducted by people who really care about showing it off to visitors .
there’s a certain drive behind an independent distillery . some call it passion , others call it ambition . we call it our independent spirit . it’s what keeps us looking to the future , crafting whisky that may never be tasted during our lifetime . we are building a legacy so that generation after generation can continue to enjoy all that makes tullibardine a drop of pure highland gold .
they grew tullibardine into a business that achieved profits of £430 , 000 on sales of £7 . 2m in the year to may .

asked if shareholders were pleased by the returns the sale generated for investors , mr ross said : “yes , but it goes beyond that , there’s a bigger picture here . ” he said the sale would be good news for the distillery , for perthshire and for scotland .
despite the new looking exterior this distillery is one of the oldest i’ve ever been to . on one hand this put me off ever stopping by , but i’m glad we visited . it’s really easy to get access to as it’s off the main a9 road . . .

the only drawback of a single production area is that while you have been looking at the mash tun and the washbacks , you will have been at least partly distracted by the real stars of any distillery tour , the stills , which at tullibardine are set half a level lower than the floor servicing the mash tun and washbacks . this is a great arrangement that allows you different views down onto the stills before actually visiting them in person . there are two wash stills and two spirit stills at tullibardine , carrying the common colour coding of red fixtures and pipes for the wash stills and blue fixtures and pipes for the spirit stills . the wash and spirit stills also have separate spirit safes , in which you an see the clear product emerging from the process .

but they say that you shouldn ' t judge a book by its cover , and that slightly tired old clich√© was never more true than it is at tullibardine distillery . those who take the very slight trouble to turn off the a9 into blackford arrive at one of the friendliest and best run distilleries they are likely to find anywhere , offering several different tours to suit different levels of interest and knowledge . these range from the
standard tour
taking about 45 minutes through the
bonded tour
at around 90 minutes to the full two hour
connoisseur tour .
some tours require pre - booking : see links on the right for further information .
gabriel picard , managing director of picard vins & spiritueux , said the new owners believe there is scope to achieve significant growth in sales of tullibardine using the network developed by the group , which has a presence in 55 countries .
tullibardine lay silent from 1994 until 2003 , when a business consortium snapped it up . their idea was to sell off some of the site as a retail park , using the money raised to get distilling up and running again .

tullibardine 1993 / 2004 ( 40 % , ob - one of the first releases of the new owners ) nose : sweet . quite nice , actually . nothing very interesting , but here ' s a light and accessible whisky . taste : sweet and not too oily or herbal . well , there ' s a smidgen iin the finish , but here it ' s balanced . score : 70 points - this might be my first young tullibardine whisky that scores in the seventies .
tullibardine 1988 ( 46 % , ob , bottled + / - 2004 - one of the first releases of the new owners ) nose : restrained . hint of oil . maybe a suggestion of sweetness . alarming lack of character . taste : phew . . . feels a bit like fresh spirit . rough . dry , gritty finish . they chose to release this ? score : 57 points - once again a tullibardine bottling manages to disappoint me . . . what a surprise . . .
tullibardine nas ' age oak edition ' ( 40 % , ob , bottled + / - 2010 ) nose : light and mellow . peaches . buttercups . a little veggy . not my style , but expressive enough . taste : oy . . . . oily and fairly weak . a have to admit that it ' s very easily drinkable . a short , depressing finish . score : 73 points - tullibardine has released some great bottlings recently - but this isn ' t one of them .
tullibardine 10yo ( 40 % , ob , bottled + / - 1998 , 70cl ) nose : quite soft ; a bit like cod - oil . overcooked vegetables and some smoke . it reminded me a little of the isle of jura 10yo - another oily one . almost ' irish ' in style , so gentle . taste : starts off with a mild and distinctive sweetness , but ends very astringent with a tannine - like dryness . score : 64 points - this tullibardine is not very high on my wish list . . .
2 ) the history of tullibardine is rather similar to that of tamnavulin . both whisky distilleries were also founded fairly recently ( 1966 ) , have been owned by invergordon / whyte & mackay / kyndal and were mothballed around 1995 . both were recently resurrected with the help of foreign capital .
the requirements of a single malt house – which tullibardine became – necessitated some tweaking of the spirit run ( introducing more high - toned floral notes now coming to the fore , with the nuttiness being dialled down ) and a more 21st century wood policy with a massive influx of fresh casks .
these were not all ( official & independent ) bottlings of tullibardine scotch whisky i ' ve tried over the years . besides , these tasting notes only reflect my own , personal opinion ; your tastes might be different from mine . fortunately , you can find the scores and tasting notes from up to two dozen other whisky lovers in the ' malt maniacs monitor ' - an independent whisky database with details on more than 15 , 000 different whiskies from scotland and the rest of the world . visit the tullibardine page on the mmmonitor and select ' scorecard view ' if you want to know how other whisky lovers felt about the dozens of tullibardine expressions that were released in recent years . however , if you ' d like to learn more about whisky in general ( and single malt scotch whisky in particular ) , you might want to check out the beginner ' s guide to scotch whisky ( 10 chapters filled with everything you need to fully enjoy and appreciate a glass of single malt whisky ) or the malmanac ( sort of a rudimentary whisky shopping guide . )
tullibardine 33yo 1972 / 2006 ( 43 . 1 % , dewar rattray , cask # 2597 ) nose : wow ! surprisingly fruity with a hint of tobacco . . . . beautifully polished . cookie dough . pine ? taste : smooth and sweet at first , growing more solid and fruitier ( apple ? ) in the centre . gritty finish . score : 88 points - i added a point after some organcs and menthos appeared in the nose . needs time ! ! !
tullibardine 17yo 1988 / 2005 ( 57 . 1 % , blackadder raw cask , sherry butt # 269 , 539 bts . ) nose : starts our restrained like the 1988 ob , but grows farmier with time and a little water . taste : big and spicy at cask strength . coffee ? very enjoyable . wow , this is a surprise ! score : 83 points - good , but not quite expressive and complex enough in the nose to reach the upper 80 ' s .
tullibardine 1975 / 2007 ( 52 , 7 % , ob , hogshead # 1009 , 194 bts . ) nose : sweet , big and sherried . some oil in the background ? taste : big on fruits and woods . sweet centre - very enjoyable . passion fruit ? great mouth feel . something herbal in the smoky , tannic finish . faintest hint of perfume ? score : 86 points - proof that they ' ve finally learned how to make highly recommendable malt whisky ; - )
3 ) tullibardine was a disused brewery when it was ' discovered ' by architect william delmé - evans . rumour has it that king james iv once purchased beer at that brewery to celebrate his coronation at scone palace in 1488 . so , that ' s the link to the number 1488 that is advertised in massive letter on the wall of the visitor centre . incidentally , king james iv was the last british monarch to be killed in battle - at the battle of flodden field in 1513 to be precise .
tullibardine 13yo 1989 / 2003 ( 59 . 8 % , cadenhead ' s authentic collection , bottled june 2003 , 276 bottles ) nose : a very distinctive sweet liquorice aroma . it ' s quite light . a tad buttery with faint spices . vaguely nutty . after a while sour elements take over . cheap vinegar . sour apple ? taste : i tasted nothing . this was completely and utterly flat - even at almost 60 % . score : 53 points - the lack of power at this high proof dragged the score down to 53 points .
tullibardine 10yo ( 40 % , ob , bottled + / - 1995 , 70cl ) nose : ooh . very oily . olive oil and vegetables . hint of salt and smoke - growing stronger . it grows sweeter with time . nutty . at first sight a little like isle of jura , tobermory or loch lomond . taste : weak and watery . creamy . sweeter over time . oily . gritty and peppery later on . dry and a little astringent in the finish . not really my style , although the bottle improved after breathing . score : 70 points - but i should point out that i had it at 61 points right after opening the bottle .
tullibardine 1993 / 2009 ( 46 % , ob , px sherry butt finish ) nose : farmy and dusty like a flour factory . veggy as well . pleasant enough but not very expressive initially . opens up with time . fruits & sweeter notes emerge after a minute , along with some sweaty notes . coconut . taste : fruity and oily . smooth centre . some pine and herbal notes in the finish - and perhaps a touch of smoke . just like the nose , it grows a little sweeter over time . the fruity notes grow more artificial over time . score : 77 points - one of those scores i would have increased if the mm awards rules didn ' t prohibit that .
tullibardine 1973 / 2004 ( 49 . 2 % , ob , cask # 2517 , 183 bts . ) nose : dusty and a little ' organic ' . fruits . it closes up within a minute , leaving only metallic smells . no wait , now it sweetens out a bit again . whiff of manure ? numbs the nose . returns to metallic again . taste : smooth and easily drinkable at this abv . subdued centre with maybe a hint of melon . aspirin finish . only a faint hint of the oil that often distracts me in tullibardines - but not much else either . plywood . score : 78 points - quite similar in style to the 26yo 1973 from signatory , also from a sherry cask .
tullibardine 15yo 1989 / 2004 ( 49 . 8 % , hart bros , distilled 04 / ' 89 ) nose : some farmy notes . and oil , just as i was expecting . beerish . some vague and hesitant spices . string beans ? butter ? perhaps something vagualy metallic . complex enough , but not my kind of malt . taste : smooth and almost sweet for a few seconds . slick . the sweetness retreats and returns again . quite some tannins in the finish . this has an odd liqueurish quality to it . not motr , that ' s for sure . score : 65 points - i had it in the upper 60 ' s for most of the time , but the finish dragged it down .
tullibardine 1988 / 2009 ( 56 % , ob , cask # 540 , 317 bts . ) nose : very fragrant and fruity . some dust . rhum . hints of vegetables as well . settles down after a while . something very faintly medicinal far in the background . a tad metallic ? maybe a suggestion of sulphur ? taste : extremely fruity with a touch of smoke . oddly enough , there ' s hardly any sweetness in the start . smoother and sweeter in the centre . a touch of cassis there ? this one is quite harsh in the finish , though . score : 81 points - i ' d recommend it , despite some rough edges . . . in fact , this score might be a tad stingy .
next you enter the area where the spirit is put into casks to begin the long process of turning into whisky . this maturation is part of the process usually unobserved except by comparing your memory of the clear spirit that emerges from the stills with the range of colours seen in whisky bottles . bonded warehouses tend to be cool , quiet places where you only get to see the casks themselves . at tullibardine , however , some of the more in - depth tours offer the opportunity to see what the liquid inside the casks looks like , and learn how the different woods from which the casks are made and the different drinks that occupied them previously affect the appearance of the maturing spirit as it is drawn out for display in glasses .
tullibardine 26yo 1973 / 2000 ( 49 . 6 % , signatory , sherry , c # 2401 , 278 bts . ) nose : sweet with a good dose of sherry . subtle fruits and a hint of mint . but the complexity vanishes . vomit ? still , i ' d give the nose a score in the lower 80 ' s ; it may turn simpler over time , but it ' s my kind of style . taste : not nearly as complex as the nose suggests . a subdued fruity undercurrent . prunes in the finish . it loses quite a few points here . pinch of peat ? some aspirin bitterness at the very back of the finish . score : 77 points - it grew on me but it was a very tough malt to score ; some highlights and some ' flaws ' .

later , the brodie hepburn company itself was bought by invergordon - 2 decades later , in 1971 to be precise . another wo decades later , in 1993 , whyte & mackay ( who were subsidiaries of fortune brands at the time ) gobbled up invergordon . whyte & mackay changed their name to jbb ( greater europe ) in 1996 , before they decided to change their name once more to kyndal in 2001 . so , i guess you are already confused by now ?
well , brace yourself - i ' m afraid i ' m not quite finished yet . . .
nly one of the pairs of stills was being used - and only part time .
however , these days they have expanded the work week from five to seven days and they hoped to produce 2 , 000 , 000 litres in 2008 . just like edradour and glenmorangie they ' ve jumped on the finishing bandwagon - and it seems to serve the spirit well . it also allows the new owners to ' shape ' the whiskies . after all , all the current stocks were made by previous owners .
i have to admit that the type of whisky they made in the old days wasn ' t really to my liking . most tullibardines i tried in the late 1990 ' s and early noughties had an oily ' cod oil ' trait that i ' m mentally allergic to . some of the finishes managed to mask most of the oil , enhancing my personal enjoyment .
right ; although some of the finished releases are packaged a tad more elaborately .
marsala finish , muscatel finish and port finish ) and a further five finishes in 2007 .
but then again - perhaps ' house styles ' are gradually becoming a thing of the past anyway . . .
already used to drinking ' brands ' rather than different types and styles of whisky . so , more and more whisky suppliers

expressions that were customary in the 1990 ' s .

the sale , for an undisclosed sum , comes at a time when demand for whisky is booming around the world .
“for us , the rationale is to get a better and more integrated position in scotch whisky , ” said mr picard .
with sales of whisky set to increase at unprecedented levels around the world , shareholders felt the time had come to pass control of the company to a firm that had the resources to maximise the growth potential .
he added : “we felt we were custodians of the brand and it was time for us to hand the brand to others . ”
picard vins & spiritueux markets a wide range of wines which it produces on the estates the company owns in france .
these include the prestigious chassange montrachet estate in burgundy where the company cultivates grapes like pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon .

grain whisky production is a continuous process in a column ( or coffey ) still using un - malted cereals that can be bought on price .
because of the way the grain distillation works the grain spirit produced is lighter in body and matures quicker than malt spirit .
also the light grain spirit does not have the influence of kiln or smoke dried malt barley . producing lightly flavoured whisky ideal for a cheaper infill to be used in blended whisky .
