- Description
- Tamnavulin's 1966 vintage spent 35 years in a single Sandeman cream sherry butt, emerging at 52.6% ABV with layers of complex sherried character: dried fruitcake, leather, and cognac-like rancio notes meld with rich vanilla sweetness. The marriage of spirit and cask is seamless, with no cloying oak or excessive tannin. A benchmark aged Speyside for those seeking sherried complexity and refinement.
