Tamnavulin White Wine Cask Edition - Sauvignon Blanc Casks, NAS, 40 %

Double cask matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks and Sauvignon Blanc white wine casks.

This product is currently not available in Norway or Sweden.

Nose: Light and fruity approach. A fine mix between orchard fruits and fruits of a more tropical persuasion. Creamy vanilla and hints of malt. With time I can pick out some of he individual fruits - banana, honeydew melon and green pears. There’s also hints of tomato vine and green herbs.

Taste: Medium body and big on fruitiness. Leaning more towards orchard fruits now. White pepper, hints of dark chocolate and a softly astringent oakiness.

Finish: Medium to short finish. The fruitiness remains the same. It does come across as somewhat dry in character now. Added elements of black pepper, earthy cinnamon and nutmeg.

Comment: Cool and green.

Score 82/100
