Tamnavulin’s newest single malt joins its other Sherry-finished no-age-statement expression, Double Cask. Tamnavulin was one of many distilleries that opened during the whisky boom of the 1960’s. Established by Invergordon Distillers, its purpose was to supply malt whisky that could be utilised in the company’s blended scotch brands. Located in the heart of Speyside, in the tiny village of Tomnavoulin, the distillery stood where once there was a Carding Mill, used by local farmers to turn their fleeces into wool. It was once common practice for Speyside distilleries to adopt the suffix of “Glenlivet” but it could be argued Tamnavulin had more of a right to it than most, being only the second distillery to physically reside within the glen of the River Livet itself. Our Vintages Collection is a set of rare, aged Speyside whiskies each with a rich, distinctive character and a true reflection of the history that lies behind our doors.

The Double Cask expression was released in 2016 to celebrate Tamnavulin’s 50th anniversary, and was the first single malt released by the distillery in 20 years. Whiskybase B.V.

And I was idd pleasantly surprised. By the noise and palate I would have believed u just the same if u told me this was a full on sherry maturation.. Im smelling it right now and I find these beautiful musty old book notes, caramel and it just begs for a sip (but.. No weekend yet =)). Only in the mouth the fluid could have profit majorly from a higher strength.. Not that the 40° is disturbing the experience in itself but I think the mouth feel and flavor would benefit massively from this.. Full disclosure: I was sent this sample so that I might take part in a virtual tasting. As always I will strive to give an honest and impartial opinion on the quality of the dram and the value for money it represents. year old Tamnavulin single malt, bottled by Signatory!
