Product details
Tamnavulin Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinguished expression from the Tamnavulin Distillery, nestled in the heart of Scotland's Speyside region. Established in 1966, the distillery is situated in the village of Tomnavoulin, deriving its name from the Gaelic term for "mill on the hill." After a period of dormancy starting in 1995, the distillery was revitalized in 2007 and has since been dedicated to producing high-quality single malt whiskies that embody the rich heritage of Speyside. The Double Cask expression showcases Tamnavulin's commitment to craftsmanship, being matured initially in American oak barrels and then finished in sherry casks. This dual maturation process imparts a sweet, mellow taste with a rich, smooth sherry finish.
On the nose, Tamnavulin Double Cask offers rich, warm aromas of apple, toffee, and honey, complemented by sweet marzipan and subtle tangy marmalade notes. The palate is fresh and mellow, featuring flavors of pear, creamy peaches, and pineapple, with a hint of Demerara sugar. The finish is rich, smooth, and refreshing, embodying the signature Speyside malt character. This whisky pairs exceptionally well with a variety of foods. Its sweet and fruity profile complements creamy cheeses, while the subtle spice notes enhance dishes like roasted poultry or glazed ham. For dessert pairings, consider crème brûlée or apple tart to mirror the whisky's inherent flavors. Whether enjoyed neat, over ice, or as part of a crafted cocktail, Tamnavulin Double Cask offers a versatile and delightful tasting experience.
