Tamnavulin White Wine Cask Edition Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

Sun-ripened apples, honeydew melon and a whisper of wine-toned sweetness greet the glass long before the first sip.

Expert description

Tamnavulin White Wine Cask Edition is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in American oak casks and finished in white wine casks that previously held Sauvignon Blanc, bottled at 40% ABV.

The bottling belongs to Tamnavulin's Cask Edition range, where the distillery's naturally soft and approachable character is paired with different cask finishes. It carries no age statement, prioritising fruit and roundness over heavy oak influence.

The white wine casks have layered fresh acidity and floral sweetness onto Tamnavulin's already gentle spirit, resulting in an easy-drinking whisky with a clear wine-driven signature.
