2012 already? What happened??

Yesteryear I was having a rather long, for my site that is, and quite subjective post on what happened in 2010. This one will be much shorter, but some interesting changes there has been in 2011.

Tullibardine's been sold to a french group. I have no views on this other than that it's usually a malt that's already hard to come across, and it also seems to be a mile or two between each "good" bottling. So, I'm not too worried as it seems it can only go one way... or?

Kininvie has stopped producing whisky, a distillery of which produce I have yet to taste, unfortunately. It would've been fun to try someday, but that hope is fading by the hour it now seems.

Tamdhu has been bought by the Edrington Group after being mothballed for about a year. Another distillery that's maybe not my favorite, but the ones that's been amazing have all been older sherried versions.. Hopefully there's still some of those casks left in the warehouses. As it seems with Glengoyne, the Edrington Group does like to show of a distillery with some older fancy single sherry cask bottlings.

Glen Keith is possibly going to start producing spirit again in a few years time.

Glenglassaugh's first newmake after reopening has made it into whisky.
