Tamnavulin Double Cask was the first release from the distillery since the 1990s! Over the past 20 or so years, the distillery changed hands from Invergordon Distillers to Whyte & MacKay, closed a few years later and reopened in 2007. Much of its single malt output is used in blends, but a few casks of single malt would sneak out as indie bottlings to allow us a rare taste of Tamnavulin - but now they've got their very own expression! They initially mature the whisky in American oak barrels before treating it to a finishing period in sherry casks.
Chocolate mousse, extra thick double cream with a dusting of brown sugar, stewed apples and blackberries.
Christmas pudding, chocolate brownies, yellow plum and toffee-coated barley.
Spiced rum sweetness lingers on the finish.
brought this for £20 quid in a co op and can decisively say that was exactly the right price for it. It doesn't taste dreadful, but is a little over sweet, with not much else going on. Will do you fine in a pinch, but if you're after a proper nice dram, look elsewhere.
Love it. Bought it on an offer, but it's a really smooth single malt. Recommended
This is a lovely introduction to whisky and continues to be a delicious, easy drinker. Not as complex as some but that is a strength, as you don't always need something too challenging when you're looking to relax of an evening. Plus I got a bottle in Morrisons last week for £20!
Personally thought it was only just worth the £20 offer price I paid for it, nothing really stood out for it to be a £32 drink.
I had a great experience with this bottle....this is a class act and I understand why it's so popular in USA ...I was into the whisky chocolate cake by the end myself...try it yourself.
