Tamnavulin Distillery is a respected Speyside Scotch whisky distillery located in the village of Tomnavoulin, near Glenlivet in Scotland. Originally founded in 1966, Tamnavulin is known for producing smooth, approachable, and fruit-forward single malt Scotch whiskies that represent classic Speyside character.
After a period of closure in the 1990s, the distillery was revived and has since gained recognition for its sherry cask-matured and finished whiskies, offering excellent balance between sweetness, spice, and oak influence. Tamnavulin is owned by Whyte & Mackay, part of the Emperador Inc. group.
