Production Details:
The Tamnavulin Sherry Cask Edition begins its journey in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, where it develops a creamy sweetness and balanced texture. It is then finished in three types of hand-selected sherry casks, Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, and a mix of European oak butts, to create depth and harmony. For the Chinese New Year 2025 Edition, the distillery presents this beloved whisky in a limited-edition festive box, inspired by the red and gold tones of Lunar prosperity and renewal.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1966 in the heart of Speyside, Tamnavulin is one of Scotland’s younger but most expressive distilleries.
