Description

This official Tamnavulin single malt, drawn from cask Batch 060808 and bottled at 40%. Set on the River Livet in the Livet glen, Tamnavulin has distilled since 1966. Purifiers on the spirit stills keep only the lightest vapours, for a delicate spirit.

It was worked through purifier stills for a clean, fruity spirit, for the light, fruity Speyside make Tamnavulin is known for. Ex-Bourbon casks held the spirit, soft oak that lets the fruit lead. With no age statement, it shows a light, fruity body and a soft honey. Refill oak lets the delicate distillery character lead, grass over orchard fruit. Tamnavulin stands on the site of a 16th century carding mill, its old water wheel preserved on the label. It is one of the few distilleries to sit right on the River Livet. For decades the malt fed the Whyte and Mackay blends rather than single malt. Mothballed in 1995, the distillery reopened in 2007 and launched its single malt in 2016.

Reduced to 40%, it is mellow. Meadow flowers and ripe fruit meet a quiet vanilla from the refill oak. Soft orchard fruit and vanilla sit behind the sweetness. The close is soft, fruit over gentle oak. This is an easy going, fruity Speyside malt.
