Living Souls – 11 Year Old Tullibardine Single Malt Scotch Whisky

11 Years Old | Highland Single Malt | French Red Wine Casks | 48.0% ABV

Tullibardine is often celebrated for its approachable Highland character, but the right maturation can reveal an entirely richer and more layered side of the spirit. This 11-year-old Living Souls Tullibardine is a vibrant, fruit-forward single malt shaped by the influence of French red wine casks, bringing warmth, texture, and indulgent depth to every sip.

Matured in carefully selected French red wine casks, this expression balances Tullibardine’s soft malt character with rich fruit notes, warming spice, and confectionary sweetness. The result is a whisky that feels both comforting and sophisticated, expressive without overpowering the distillery’s natural charm.

Inspired by a quaint French town at dusk, this dram evokes softly lit streets, evening café conversations, and the lingering scent of ripe fruit and spice carried through the cool evening air. Aromas of cola cubes, dark cherry, and brown sugar emerge first, offering an inviting sweetness layered with subtle richness.

On the palate, notes of dried strawberries, buttery toffee, and maple syrup unfold into a whisky that is beautifully full-bodied and rounded. The influence of the red wine casks adds depth and warmth, enhancing the fruit character while lending gentle spice and structure through the finish.

Bottled at 48.0% ABV, this release delivers richness and complexity while remaining exceptionally approachable, equally rewarding neat or with a few drops of water to reveal additional layers.

Whether enjoyed after dinner or poured on a quiet evening, this whisky offers a warm and inviting take on Highland single malt through the lens of French wine cask maturation.

About Tullibardine Distillery

Tullibardine Distillery - A Highland Revival Story

Tullibardine or “Tulli,” as it’s often called in the industry is a striking distillery site located just off the A9 between Perth and Stirling, in the town of Blackford. While the distillery itself was established in 1949 by renowned architect William Delme-Evans, the site’s history stretches back much further.

Its predecessor, a local brewery, famously recorded the first known purchase of beer in Scotland in 1488, when King James IV stopped for a cask of ale following his coronation. The king was so impressed that in 1503 he granted the brewery the first Royal Charter, one of the earliest marks of royal approval in Scottish brewing history.

Set at the foot of the Ochil Hills, Tullibardine benefits from an exceptional water source. The Danny Burn filters through layers of basalt and sandstone before reaching the distillery, contributing to the purity of the spirit. These same hills are also home to Highland Spring, one of Scotland’s most recognizable bottled waters, an indication of just how prized this water source is.

Throughout the 20th century, Tullibardine changed ownership multiple times, eventually landing with Whyte & Mackay, who closed the distillery in 1994. Prior to its shutdown, Tullibardine was known as a floral and nutty malt, primarily used in blends.

The turning point came in 2003, when new ownership revived the distillery with a clear focus on building a premium single malt brand. Faced with aging stock that had spent too long in tired casks, they undertook an ambitious re-casking program, revitalizing the spirit through carefully selected wood.

That transformation defines Tullibardine today. Now owned by French conglomerate, Picard Vins & Spiritueux, the distillery produces a range of single malts across different cask types and age statements. The modern profile leans toward bright fruit, softness, and elegance, with the heavier nuttiness of the past largely replaced.
