Tamnavulin Vintage Collection 45 Year Old, Bourbon & Sherry Cask, 2019, 40%

Tamnavulin Distillery was silent between 1995 and 2007; this 12 year gap in production meant that in recent times they have produced very little in the way of official bottlings. Although the vast majority of their production goes into blends, Tamnavulin was relaunched as a single malt in 2016 - to celebrate 50 years since the distillery was founded - with the Double Cask expression. This 45-year-old expression, distilled in 1973 and bottled in 2019 as part of the Vintage Collection, was matured initially in American White Oak Bourbon Barrels, then aged in Matusalem Oloroso Sherry butts, before a final finishing period back in First Fill Bourbon barrels.
