Tamnavulin Double Cask is a Scotch single malt whisky from the Speyside region, matured in two stages and bottled at 40% ABV. It was the first official Tamnavulin release in over two decades.

The distillery lies in the heart of Speyside. Tamnavulin was built in 1966, chiefly to supply the growing market for blending whisky, and the name Tamnavulin is a translation of the Gaelic term for "mill on the hill". The water comes from underground springs in the surrounding hills. Over the years the distillery changed hands and was closed for a time; built in 1966, it fell silent for around twelve years and was reopened after refurbishment in 2007.

A two-stage maturation process defines the style of this whisky. Like the entire Tamnavulin range, the spirit begins life in American ex-bourbon casks and then, when the time is right, is finished in sherry casks. The distillery's base spirit is light and clean. The production set-up – a full-lauter mash tun, nine stainless steel washbacks and three pairs of copper pot stills with sub-coolers on the wash stills and purifiers on the spirit stills – yields a light, clean and grassy new make that responds well to the influence of sherry casks.

Amber gold in colour. On the nose, warm aromas of apple, toffee and honey with sweet marzipan and delicate, tart notes of marmalade. On the palate it is fresh and gentle, with pear, creamy peaches and pineapple, plus a touch of demerara sugar. Notes of dried orange, ginger and spicy wood also appear. This is a whisky light in structure and approachable; the texture lacks any great depth, and the finish is short and fleeting, with a flash of malt and oak.
