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.
Good Speyside whisky, not stunning but good.
My standard single malt. Lovely nip
Best I ever tasted and my new all-time favourite!
A buttery caramel flavour, slightly smokey. A very easy sipping whisky. Got mine on special offer for £20...and worth every penny...a fair contender against my regular favourite Aberlour 12 year old.
Smooth and delicious. Just what the doctor ordered!!!
