Tamnavulin – Double Cask

Tamnavulin Double Cask is a single malt matured first in American oak barrels and then finished in sherry casks. It was the first release under the distillery's own name since the 1990s. Tamnavulin passed from Invergordon Distillers to Whyte & Mackay, closed, and reopened in 2007. Much of its output goes into blends, so this bottling gives the malt an expression of its own. The nose brings chocolate mousse, thick double cream with brown sugar, stewed apples and blackberries. The palate has Christmas pudding, chocolate brownies, yellow plum and toffee-coated barley, followed by a lingering spiced rum sweetness.
