“On the nose it is very easy to like , raisins , brown sugar , apricot jam, low alcohol fumes and lots of lively sherry notes Tastes a bit like it smells but add in some tangerines and a bit of a smooth creamy Finish is short-medium with tangy vanilla touches ”

Description

A wonderfully well-sherried single malt from the Tamnavulin Distillery, which begins its life in American oak barrels before being finished in three different types of sherry casks! Three of 'em! Shouldn't come as a surprise, but if you're a fan of all those Christmas cakey, chocolatey, red berry-y notes, you'll probably be into this one from the Speyside-based distillery.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Brown sugar, gingersnaps and cinnamon rolls, raspberry jam and a hint of toasted malt.

Palate

Cadbury's Fruit & Nut, more pastry notes, honeycomb and Christmas cake.

Finish

Dried apricot, citrus peels and vanilla pod.

Good value and surprisingly complexed

Considering this isn't supposed to be top end whiskey it's actually smooth, sweet and has a bit of complexity from the sherry cask flavours, I'm getting raisin and vanilla with pleasent smooth finish, perfect for camp fires and easy drinking

Really good and tasty

Really good and tasty. For me that is Not a ”whisky master” as the shitty attitude peaoplr that some has rated this whisky.

Half the price of the classics but not half the quality.

As Speysides go there are of course better ones on the market for the real connoisseurs, but sometimes a real world view is required. I can pick up a bottle of this for £20 in my local Tesco's, and it is drinkable. Christmas Cake spices and dried fruits, chocolate mouse and vanilla. Whilst a little rough around the edges there is always a bottle at hand so I can enjoy a whisky when I want without worrying about the cost or hassle of ordering another bottle, because I can just add it to my next shop.

On offer worth a try .

Prefer the double oak cask to this edition but not too bad overall . Bought it also because I generally like Tamnavulin and tried this £30 for litre Tesco with clubcard .

Probably don't bother.

This whisky has what I like to call, a "chemical maturation". There are just some budget friendly whiskies that to me, taste like they have had some sort of chemicals added, and its all kinds of wrong! Its not the price bracket as a whole; I've had plenty of great budget friendly drams, where you can tell the distillery cared about the product, even if it wasn't a 30 year old single cask. Glenfarclas 10 for example, gives this a huge run for its money! And when I compare everything between the two, it's like pitching Usain Bolt's 100m sprint, up against the council fulfilling a pothole request. One is pleasant and exciting, the other infuriating and a lot of hard work. I also find the same chemical taste in the current Aberlour 12. At this point, the A'bunadh is the only Aberlour I'll currently touch, and thats not really a sustainable price for regular drinking. It often feels like the 'whisky mill' is churning as much volume as possible, to get that $, with literally no concern or pride for the products they pedal. And I'm not naive, I know this is exactly what is happening, but isn't it a shame! I'm not expecting the world from whiskies like this Tamnavulin and others in the price bracket, I'd just respect it more if those producing them respected their own products a bit more, and produced whisky that didn't taste like it was processed to hell! (Reminding me of those circular ham slices) when other distilleries seem to be able to produce decent products, for the same amount of coin. This Tamnavulin itself, was very thin and even had some smokiness/peatiness to it, along with the aforementioned bleach. Really not the traditional Speyside single malt I was hoping for.
