This 12-year-old Tamnavulin, which has been finished in an Oloroso Sherry Octave cask (approx. 50L), has been bottled by Claxton at full cask strength of 54.8%. Shortly after opening the bottle, the aroma of raisins and syrup comes to one, which is surely part of what the finish has given this bottling.
A delicious dram, from the Tamnavulin distillery, which is in the Scottish Speyside region. Tamnavulin is categorized in whiskey group H.
The whisky is not cold-filtered or colored – it is as it was when it came out of the cask when bottling.
