Tullibardine

The Tullibardine distillery was built on the site of a medieval brewery that had a centuries-old, eventful history Dating back to the early middle ages. The village of Blackford got its name in the X century. According to legend, not far from this place, the wife of the Norwegian king Magnus, wading the river, could not stay in the saddle, fell into the river and drowned. After the tragedy this place has become disrepute and it became known as "chernobroda". Hence the name Blackford (Black Ford), by which it is known today. In the XII century the village was flourishing and the name became associated with brewing. Here was built the first folk brewery in Scotland, which began to use pure spring water for the production of ale. In 1488, the brewery became famous for producing high-quality ale for the coronation of James IV.

Perhaps whiskey drove here at the end of the XVIII century, but the current distillery was built only in 1949. Its construction was handled by Delme Evans-a prominent designer of distilleries. He went to school with the son of an excise officer and became very interested in Breweries and distilleries. The first time he visited one of them at the age of 12: among other things, he was inspired by the popular in the late XIX century "tower" style of the brewery. With this arrangement, the water from the tank on the roof and the malt from the attic together flow down by gravity, without any pumps, and this process provides a cellar full of beer. In Tullibardine Evans sought to repeat this experience, so that the Braga entered the distillery by gravity. His engineering ideas on the issue of distillation are used in the production of whiskey to this day.

From 1993 to 2003, Tullibardine production was suspended. But in June 2003, production facilities, equipment and all whiskey produced at the distillery, found their new owners, and in December of the same year, thanks to the efforts of a professional team of enthusiasts, it was possible to completely restore the distillery and start production. In 2004, Tullibardine opened its doors to all comers. The distillery has a new visitor centre which organises individual tours and tastings. In addition, every visitor can visit the cozy "Cafe 1488" and buy Souvenirs, gifts and, of course, a few samples of this magical drink.
