Description

Here we have an ace 18 year old Tamnavulin, distilled over in Speyside in the year 2000. Now, we know what you're thinking. "Wasn't Tamnavulin closed between 1995 and 2007?" Right you are, whisky-loving folk, though for a brief five week period in the spring of 2000, the stills were relighted and this wonderful liquid was produced! After it was distilled, the spirit was matured in bourbon and Amoroso Oloroso sherry cask. The whisky remained in these casks for 18 years, before it was bottled in 2019 at 45% ABV.

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Tamnavulin Distillery

Our story began in 1966 with the opening of the distillery in the rural village of Tomnavoulin, Scotland. Although the doors were closed in 1995, we reopened them in 2007 after a major distillery refurbishment. Since then, we’ve crafted exceptional single malt whisky with a true Speyside character; rich, smooth and mellow.

The Mill

The name Tamnavulin is the Gaelic translation of ‘mill on the hill’, named in part after the historic former carding mill which sits on the site of the distillery. Local farmers would bring their sheep fleeces here in the summer months to be made into wool.

In the foothills of theCairngorm mountain range is Tomnavoulin, the village home to around 40 residents and Tamnavulin Distillery. The distillery is located deep in the heart of Speyside, the most celebrated whisky-producing region in Scotland. Home to over half of Scotland’s operating malt whisky distilleries, Speyside is the perfect location to produce whisky. The unique microclimate of the region makes it a very temperate area of Scotland. This, combined with the abundance of rich farmland, makes it an ideal place to grow barley and mature whisky.
