In 2010, due to the level of interest in our local Gold, we decided to create our own brand of whisky, the idea of Tyndrum Gold Single Malt Whisky was born.
We visited the mine (Thanks in part to ScotGold) and took some photographs, we have chosen one of the images for use on the label!
With the economic doom and gloom, and the fact that the planning application was declined for the mine, we decided to put things on hold for a while….
We did however, purchase the name www.Tyndrum-Gold.co.uk for future use!
Move forward to June 2011, a new planning application for the mine was being produced, we decided to look again at our Tyndrum Gold. Craig (our internet manager) was given the task to create our first ever bottling, from designing the label, to liasing with suppliers, obtaining quotes, the only thing Craig didn’t do, was actually attend the tasting session we had for the selection of the whisky!
By the start of July 2011 Craig had the idea for the label already in place and things were moving along well.
Edward, (our resident Keeper of the Quaich and also a Partner), decided that we would also need a back label for some more information on the bottling.
It was also decided at this point that we would do a limited release of 600 bottles, (excellent idea Craig)
So there we have it – the first insight into our Tyndrum Gold Limited Edition Whisky.
I will bring more information as time permits!
