Fragrant Drops Tamnavulin is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky drawn from a single refill bourbon barrel and bottled at a robust natural strength of 60.0% ABV. At 12 years old, it is likely to show the distillery's spirit with relatively little heavy cask influence, making it a clear example of refill-bourbon-matured malt.
For a novice drinker, this style often means a whisky led by malt, orchard fruit, vanilla, and gentle oak rather than rich wine-cask sweetness or smoke. The high strength suggests a concentrated profile, and a little water may help open it up in the glass.
