Glen Moray, Glendronach, and now (possibly) Tullibardine?
July 21st, 2008Scotland on Sunday yesterday reported that Tullibardine might be the next distillery up for sale. As stated in the article:
The directors of Tullibardine insist there is no ‘for sale’ sign at the distillery but after receiving speculative approaches the board has decided to consider them seriously.
Tullibardine has a new importer to the U.S. I just received two new releases from them: a 1993 sherry wood finished whisky and a 1988 vintage. I am happy to see that is seems the distillery is beginning to make progress here in the U.S. Hopefully, the sale of the distillery will not impact this, as these last two releases have really shown the potential of this distillery.
On a side note, the distillery was mothballed for close to a decade (starting around 1994) so there will always be a challenge for the current owner or a future owner to work around this production gap.
