Deanston and Tullibardine

Whilst en route from Glasgow to Edinburgh following the GWF is it worth a two day stop in Stirling to visit Deanston and Tullibardine? Has anyone been to these two before?

I've been to Tullibardine and it's well worth a visit, I've never been to Deanston but would like since it's an old mill.

Yes, Deanston is a nice place, and a different distillery. Both places are worth a visit, but then again. I find all distilleries worth a visit :-)

The new Deanston @46.3% is really nice. Tullibardine has some cheap mini's in their shop, a nice cafe, and the shop next door got some bottles on the shelf well worth a look

All distilleries are worth a visit. I was at Tullibardine in November 2009 at 16:30 pm. The shop was closed, it was dark night with a thunderstorm. Still, it was good :D Never been to Deanston, but it looks nice, aka no big show just a hands on distillery with a CRAW mentality :thumbsup:

Any idea if either do a unique distillery only bottling or fill your own?

I think Tullibardine does, that's why I went there but as I said, I was too late so I don't actually know :D
