Description
Tamnavulin 16 Year Old 2007 Connoisseurs Choice (Gordon & MacPhail) 70cl, 59.4% is a limited Speyside single malt bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for the Connoisseurs Choice series. Distilled in 2007 and matured for 16 years in a single refill bourbon barrel, this release was opened in November 2023 and bottled at a natural 59.4% ABV, with a total outturn of 181 bottles.
This is the kind of bottle that suits customers who enjoy mature independent bottlings with proper natural strength and more individuality than a standard shelf release. The refill bourbon barrel points toward a brighter and more spirit-led style than a heavier sherry-cask bottling, while the 59.4% strength should keep plenty of texture and intensity in the glass. The second sentence is an inference based on the cask type, age, and bottling strength shown on the reviewed listing.
