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.

Nice strong but smooth and clear flavour. But not much on aroma

Always an enjoyable malt. A significant step up from my other ‘everyday’ whisky, Whyte and Mackay. Very enjoyable with a touch of sweetness and plenty of character. Too easy to drink and very good value, especially when on offer.
One of the best whiskys at this price. The balance of flavours is so good. I like it with a small piece of ice.
A wonderful whisky for the price. Great depth and complexity.
