Tullibardine’s Sovereign whisky
Tullibardine's Sovereign Whisky, a hallmark of Scottish tradition, embodies the rich history and craftsmanship of Highland single malt distillation. With its roots deeply embedded in the heritage of Scotland, Tullibardine stands proudly in the village of Blackford, Perthshire, a site with a legacy dating back to 1488 when it was first recognized for its brewing and distilling capabilities.
A delightful concoction, "Sovereign Summer," showcases the versatility of Tullibardine’s Sovereign whisky, transforming it from a winter warmer to a summer refreshment. This recipe ingeniously combines 50ml of Tullibardine Sovereign with cloves, honey, and lemon juice, topped with tonic, to create a beverage that sings with the sweet barley notes and subtle vanilla hints characteristic of this exquisite whisky.
The distillery itself offers a glimpse into the passionate creation process of their whiskies. Tullibardine is among the few distilleries in Scotland that manage the entire whisky-making process on-site, from distillation to aging and bottling. This ensures a unique control over the quality and character of each bottle produced.
Historically, the Tullibardine site has been a cornerstone of Scottish brewing and distilling since its days as Sharp's Brewery, where the local water source, the Danny Burn, was highly praised for its quality. The transition from brewery to distillery has only enhanced its reputation, with Tullibardine whiskies like The Sovereign being celebrated for their floral, sweet barley notes, and smooth finishes.
For those interested in experiencing Tullibardine’s Sovereign whisky in a refreshing summer cocktail or learning more about the distillery's rich history and commitment to quality, a visit to their site or exploring their range can be a delightful journey into the heart of Scottish whisky tradition.
