Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with a warm mahogany depth and a subtle ruby edge.
Nose
Sherry-kissed and opulent, with dried fig, raisin and orange zest weaving through vanilla and honey. Almond paste and toasted oak provide a creamy backbone, while warming spice—cinnamon and clove—lifts the aroma into a luxurious, festive tapestry. A mature, inviting nose that promises depth.
Palate
Opulent and full-bodied, this Tamnavulin coats the palate with sherry-warmed richness—raisins, fig, plum, and dark chocolate intertwine with toffee. Spices rise in a melody of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, tempered by vanilla and toasted oak. At 58.9% ABV it stays poised and warming, finishing long with dried-fruit sweetness and a citrusy zest.
Finish
Long, sherried finish of dark fruit compote, raisins and cocoa, carried by toasted oak. Orange zest and warming spice weave through the sweetness, tapering to a refined, lingering finale.
