Tamnavulin Sherry Cask

Product Description

This superb 50cl Tamnavulin has been matured in American Oak Barrels enhanced by a finesse in three different Sherry casks. A classic revelation from the Speyside Valley. 

In the foothills of the Cairngorm mountain range is Tamnavulin, the village home to around 40 residents and Tamnavulin Distillery. The distillery is located deep in the heart of Speyside, the most celebrated whisky-producing region in Scotland. Home to over half of Scotland’s operating malt whisky distilleries, Speyside is the perfect location to produce whisky. The unique microclimate of the region makes it a very temperate area of Scotland. This, combined with the abundance of rich farmland, makes it an ideal place to grow barley and mature whisky.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A bouquet marked by freshly baked tarte tatin and vanilla pod, soon giving way to another level of charm as nuances of banana, caramelised orange and fresh ginger completes this tapestry of temptation.

Palate: Warm and inviting. The palate detects an avalanche of exotic flavours, glazed nectarines and frangipane, shortly enlightened by hints of sticky toffee pudding, Demerara sugar and Seville oranges.

Finish: Complex and rich. Fruit cake, over ripe apricots.
