Finn Thomson Tamnavulin 33 Years Old (Unboxed) 1991
50.7% abv
Few distilleries tell the modern story of scotch whisky better than Tamnavulin. Built in the height of the blended whisky boom in the 1960s, much of its production was destined for the expanding American market. The style of the distillery represented the consumer tastes of the time: malty and light, this was a malleable whisky and a blender’s dream. With the fall in fortunes of the industry in the 1990s, Tamnavulin was one of many distilleries victim to closure. Indeed, this very cask was filled just a few years before the distillery was moth-balled and not opened again until 2007. With the reopening of the distillery came wholesale changes in production style. It was out with the old stills and in with the new – a move towards a fruitier style of new make spirit.
That old style of Tamnavulin is almost lost, and what makes this cask so special is that the character of the original distillery shines through. Over thirty three years, a refill hogshead has allowed the malty and cereal notes to develop gradually with honey and brown sugar playing amid the cereal nuttiness. This is a flashback to the best of the 1990s, sadly never to be repeated again.
