About Tullibardine

“Tullibardine distillery is a Scottish distillery since 1949, producing a single malt whisky. The whisky distillery is located in Blackford, Perth and Kinross, close to the Ochil Hills and the Danny Burn, their main water sources.”From Wikipedia, CC BY-SA

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading 28.403 means cask 403 from distillery 28. That distillery is Tullibardine, in Highland. More on Tullibardine at Wikipedia.
