Tamnavulin – French Cabernet Sauvignon Finish (70cl, 40%)

A Speyside single malt whisky from Tamnavulin, finished in French Cabernet Sauvignon red wine casks after maturation in American ex-Bourbon casks. It belongs to the Cask Editions range and adds red and dark summer berries to the distillery's sweet, soft and fruity style, with hints of cinnamon and cocoa from the finishing casks. The non-smoky single malt is bottled at 40% in a 70cl bottle and comes in a gift box. On the nose there are pronounced floral aromas, orchard fruits and lime marmalade, with cinnamon, poached pears and almonds. The palate shows nectarines, plums and gingerbread, followed by sweet red berries and banana bread. The medium-length finish recalls chocolate confectionery, apricot marmalade and ripe plums, with juicy ginger and an earthy cinnamon note.
