Time for another dram!

A Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American Oak and Sauvignon Blanc White Wine Casks.

A bit about

The Tamnavulin White Wine Cask Edition is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American Oak and Sauvignon Blanc White Wine Casks. It has 40% ABV, an amber colour achieved with the addition of caramel colouring, and it is chill-filtered.

The White Wine Cask is part of the Cask Edition range, along with the Port Cask, Sherry Cask, Double Cask, French and American Cabernet Sauvignon Casks, German Pinot Noir and Spanish Grenache Cask.

When it comes to awards, it won a few, including Gold in 2024 at the International Spirits Challenge, and Bronze in 2024 at the International Wine & Spirit Competition.

Time to try it!

Nose: Fresh peach and green apple slice with a hint of citrus; the white wine cask influence is quite apparent

Palate: Very lemony, with some unripe apricot and overall with a fresh and pleasant mouthfeel

Finish: Quite short, citrusy, with some lingering fresh orchard fruit and vanilla.

Pros and Cons

It feels like quite a fresh, easy-drinking whisky, great for spring or summer. Good as an entry-level whisky or as an easy sipper for warmer days.

In Conclusion

Priced at around £36 on most UK websites (occasionally on sale for around £24), I think it's a summery whisky to have around the house, whether you prefer to sip it neat or have it in a fruity cocktail on a hot summer day.

If you want to give this one a try, you can find it in larger supermarkets in the UK.
