Events @ Bannockburn High
Tullibardine Distillery Trip
On Friday 5th September, the S5/6 Higher Accounting class, travelled to
Blackford to visit the Tullibardine Distillery. The class toured the distillery
before receiving a presentation from the firm’s management accountant.

Thomas, a distillery employee, led the group around the distillery and they
learned about the history of the establishment, the process of whisky
distillation and the process of maturation, in sherry and bourbon casks. The
spirit must remain in the casks for a minimum of 3 years before it can be
classified as a whisky. |

After the tour, the role of the management accountant was brought to life
through a presentation by the accountant, Christine. The talk was very
informative and lots of information on the process of becoming a management
accountant, the different careers that are available and Christine’s role in a
small manufacturing company was gleaned. |

|
Overall the experience was very beneficial and will help the class with their
studies and career choices over the coming months. |
