The Tamnavulin story began in 1966 with the opening of the distillery in the rural village of Tomnavoulin, Scotland. Although the doors were closed in 1995, they reopened in 2007 after a major distillery refurbishment. Since then, the distillery has crafted exceptional single malt whisky with a true Speyside character; rich, smooth and mellow.

In the foothills of the Cairngorm mountain range is Tomnavoulin, the village home to around 40 residents and Tamnavulin Distillery. The distillery is located deep in the heart of Speyside, the most celebrated whisky-producing region in Scotland. Home to over half of Scotland’s operating malt whisky distilleries, Speyside is the perfect location to produce whisky. The unique microclimate of the region makes it a very temperate area of Scotland. This, combined with the abundance of rich farmland, makes it an ideal place to grow barley and mature whisky.

Andrew tells us all about Jura, Fettercairn and Tamnavulin distilleries; their history, the brilliant malts they produce and why we should visit! He also talks about some of the new expressions we can look forward to tasting in the future.
