The distillery is at the gateway to the Highlands, close by the Ochil Hills about 50 miles north-west of Edinburgh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo make this Firkin 49 whisky, we took a 2012 Tullibardine matured in a first fill Bourbon barrel, which is a pretty good dram. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut with the magic of two types of sherry and our custom casks, we transformed it into an outstanding whisky. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTullibardine Distillery History\u003cbr\u003eIn the 17th century, The Ochil Hills enjoyed a mini gold rush. What makes it a mini gold rush? Well, it’s all the minors, of course. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gold rush in The Ochil Hills, North of Stirling, was short-lived. But it was great while it lasted. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLuckily the liquid gold was long-lasting. This is the tale of Tullibardine distillery \u0026amp; Firkin 49 single cask single malt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTullibardine and Mike Collings, our founder, share a birth year. But, it might raise an eyebrow or two when you find out the distiller dates back to 1489. When we say, Mike has a lot of experience. We’re not joking around. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the distillery site dates to 1489, its production didn’t start until 1798. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd it stopped a year later. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot a great start.","brand":"Connect Logistics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54529947009299,"sku":"881330","price":148.37,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9848\/3731\/files\/881330_M.png?v=1785963252","url":"https:\/\/maltsandgrains.store\/products\/firkin-tullibardine-48-9-2012-oloroso","provider":"Malts \u0026 Grains EDM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
