This pale gold whisky is slightly mineral in the nose at first, then followed by toasted banana bread. Then aromas remind one of walking on a green wet lawn while tasting fresh sour cherries.
Later a clear vegetal note of cooked asparagus sprinkled with lemon juice arrives, over a background of wet sawdust.
On the palate, it is really fruity and vegetal, with the emphasis on the latter. After a while longer, angelica appears during a pleasant, slightly bitter finish that does not linger. Add a few drops of water and notice an increased creaminess in the mouth-feel.

In 1966 this large Speyside distillery was built by a consortium named Tamnavulin-Glenlivet Distillery Company, part of Invergordon Distillers Ltd. In 1993 Whyte & Mackay purchased the latter and decided two years later to mothball Tamnavulin. It would take 12 years and a couple of takeovers before the distillery went full steam ahead. Since 2014 Whyte & Mackay is owned by Emperador Inc. Until fairly recently Tamnavulin was mainly a backbone component for Whyte & Mackay’s blended Scotch, but is presently available as a fine single malt.
Water source: Various local springs
Malt source: Commercial maltsters
Capacity: 4 million litres of alcohol per annum
Location: Tomnavoulin, Speyside
