Tamnavulin is a distillery founded in 1966, located in the heart of Speyside, a region renowned for its smooth, fruity and elegant single malt whiskies. The distillery combines traditional Scottish techniques with experimental cask finishing to create a unique flavour and aroma.
The whisky is initially matured in American oak casks (ex-bourbon) and then finished in sherry casks, which give it a deep, rich and fruity character, with warm caramel and spice notes.

A rich and complex nose with hints of dried fruit, figs, red cherry, combined with caramel, chocolate and light oak nuances.
