This bottling of a 22-year-old Tamnavulin-Glenlivet was produced as a small batch by the independent bottler Cadenhead. The whisky was distilled in 1991, matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead and was bottled at cask strength in 2014.
Tamnavulin is a distillery in Ballindalloch, Moray, Scotland, built in 1966 by Invergordon on the banks of the River Livet. It closed in 1995 and was only sold in 2007, but it is now owned by Emperador International Ltd.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
