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.
Beautiful Amber colour, but that's the nicest thing about it. Tastes more like a blended whisky. Rough.
Not particularly memorable but definitely 'nice'. A drink to have while you're doing something else rather thana main event. Great value though
Just as good of my normal one I purchase. Will definitly buy it again. Smooth taste and pallet
It's a cracker. Sherry sweetness, but not too much, well balanced flavour profile. At £20 it's a steal. A permanent position on my whisky shelf. Try it!
First ever taste this eve and must say at the price point how can you critise? I personally found a juicy, smooth sherries dram with a spiced finish and would definitely purchase again
