Tambowie was a whiskey distillery near Milngavie , East Dunbartonshire , Scotland . The brandy produced was therefore assigned to the Lowlands whiskey region .
The distillery was founded in 1825 by Alexander Graham , who ran it alone until 1860. In the following decades there were several changes of ownership until the company finally passed into the ownership of Tambowie Distillery Co. in 1910 . Probably in 1914 the distillery fell victim to the flames and was never rebuilt. The remains of the buildings were demolished in the 1920s and the material used for road construction in Milngavie. There are no obvious traces of the former distillery.
When Alfred Barnard visited the distillery on his major whiskey tour in 1885, it had an annual production capacity of 48,000 gallons . There were two stills available; a coarse bladder with a capacity of 1730 gallons and a fine bladder with a capacity of 1230 gallons. It was malt whiskey produced.
