Love it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;If we set out to find the oldest brewing and distilling spot in Scotland, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Tullibardine \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;would definitely be in the running. Back in the 15th century,\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; King James IV\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;—\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;a young, strapping lad\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;—made a stop at the local brewery here on the way to his coronation. Heck, wouldn’t you? This is recorded as the first \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“official” \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;purchase of beer in kingdom (though we think it fair to say that there were quite a few \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“unofficial”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; purchases being made at the time). The name \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Tullibardine \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;means “vantage point” in Gaelic and originates from a little medieval chapel, set up in 1446 near the distillery. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The old brewery was transformed into a distillery back in about \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;1946 \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and has become a solid maker of single-malt Whiskey. They produce their signature Whisky, several finished\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; “double-wood”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; Whiskies, and some older limited editions. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Tullibardine \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;has a very interesting naming system for their finished wood Scotch Whiskies. They call their standard single-malt \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“Sovereign”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; a marriage of young and older Whiskies. The finished wood products are aged one more year in various barrels types and named for the size of the finishing barrel. \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Finish\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; is so-called because the Burgundy wine barrels are traditionally \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;228 liters\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; in size. Makes a little sense, right? \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Another thing about \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Tullibardine \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;is that the distillery literally sits on the geographic boundary between the Highlands and the Lowlands. But \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Tullibardine Whiskies\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; are distilled like a Highlander, look like a Highlander, and drink like a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Highlander\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. Love it. And the finishing of Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Finish is really good too, so you get that influence without the spirit being overwhelmed.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;u\u0026gt;Smartass corner:\u0026lt;\/u\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;The name Tullibardine means “vantage point” in Gaelic and originates from a little medieval chapel, set up in 1446 near the distillery.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130180001974,"sku":"15009","price":12.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/tullibardine228burgundycaskfin_15009_01_a8e76baf_cba821dc-292a-4162-9817-660e2f1ea183.jpg?v=1779036848","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/tullibardine228burgundycaskfinish-700ml-15009","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
