Speyside’s Tamnavulin Adds Port Cask Single Malt
Speyside’s Tamnavulin Distillery, with a lineup rooted in distinctive double cask maturation, is adding a Port Cask Edition to its core range. Every expression from Tamnavulin undergoes a meticulous ageing process in two distinct casks. The first maturation in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels crafts a rich and layered foundation. The whisky is then masterfully finished in a second cask, which has already led a life nurturing a fine Tawny Port wine. These casks have been carefully selected from Portugal’s celebrated Douro Valley, imparting a rich sweetness to the whisky through the cask over time as the spirit matures. The result is an accessible yet opulent and sophisticated expression that embodies the craftsmanship of Tamnavulin.
Building on the success of its acclaimed Wine Cask Editions, Tamnavulin’s master whisky makers, led by Kirsty Hodge, sought to find a partner to complement and elevate the characteristics of the distillery, leading them to the home of Port.
Tamnavulin Port Cask (ABV 40%) is now available in Tesco and Sainsbury’s and will launching in Asda from 17th October with an RSP of £35.
