The Whiskey Lab Tri Carragh Tamnavulin 12 year 700ml

The Whiskey Lab Tri Carragh Tamnavulin 12 Year is an independent single malt from Tamnavulin, a Speyside distillery. It was distilled in August 2011, spent about eleven years in an ex-bourbon cask, then nine months in a first-fill Pedro Ximenez sherry hogshead. It's bottled at cask strength, 56.8% ABV, with natural colour and no chill filtration, in a run of just 314 bottles in the 700 ml size. Expect honey, pear and soft malt on the nose, vanilla, baked apple and dark sherried fruit on the palate, and a medium, lightly sweet finish with gentle oak. It suits single malt drinkers who like cask-strength, sherry-finished whisky and want a small, single-cask release.

How to drink Tri Carragh Tamnavulin 12 Year

Pour it neat first, then add water a few drops at a time, since 56.8% rewards a little dilution. A tulip glass shows the sherry and honey best, and ice isn't needed.
