Tamnavulin Single Malt Scotch Whiskey Sherry Cask

The Tamnavulin Sherry Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a core expression from the Tamnavulin Distillery in the Speyside region of Scotland. This no-age-statement whisky is first matured in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, which imparts a foundational smoothness and sweet, fruity character to the spirit. It then undergoes a finishing period in three different types of sherry casks, adding significant richness and aromatic complexity. Bottled at 40% ABV, it is known for its approachable character and sherry-influenced profile.

Tasting Notes: (Note: Tasting notes can vary slightly across different sources)
