Description
Tamnavulin 12 Year Old Battlehill (Duncan Taylor) 70cl, 46% is a Speyside single malt that offers a balanced and approachable take on this well-known distillery through Duncan Taylor’s Battlehill range.

What makes this bottle especially attractive is its clarity of style. Tamnavulin is associated with a smooth, fruit-forward Speyside profile, and that suits the Battlehill approach very well.
