A Speyside Gem
Speyside is home to more than half of Scotland’s operating malt whisky distilleries and its unique microclimate makes it an ideal place for whisky production. The temperate weather and fertile farmland provide the perfect conditions for growing barley and maturing whisky, giving Tamnavulin its distinctive character. This region has a longstanding reputation for producing rich, smooth and accessible single malts and Tamnavulin’s offerings are no exception.
The Craft of Tamnavulin
Inspired by their location’s natural beauty and resources, Tamnavulin’s skilled craftsmen and women draw on age-old distilling expertise and new sophisticated techniques. What sets Tamnavulin apart is its double maturation process, which results in a whisky that offers not just one, but two layers of flavour.
The whisky is first aged in American oak barrels, which imparts a mellow, sweet profile. It is then finished in Sherry casks, which add a rich, smooth complexity. This two-step process allows the whisky to develop a rich flavour profile with both sweetness and depth, making it an exceptional choice for those looking for a versatile and well-balanced single malt.
