The run yielded only 314 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTri Carragh is an independent label managed by Stravaig Spirits. The spirit spent over 11 years maturing in an oak cask before being re-racked in July 2023 into a first-fill PX hogshead for a nine-month finish. It is bottled at natural colour without chill filtration. Tamnavulin, established in 1966, takes its name from the Gaelic for mill on the hill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose leans toward chocolate and citrus, and with water the whisky becomes much creamier and sweeter, with the PX finish adding dark, raisined sweetness to the Speyside malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standing-stones label makes it a fine gift for collectors of independent bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd a few drops of water to bring out its creamy sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Pedro Ximénez finish is one of the richest a Scotch whisky can receive. PX is the sweetest style of sherry, made from sun-dried grapes, and a first-fill cask that has just been emptied of it passes on deep notes of raisin, fig and dark sugar. A short finish of a few months lets those flavours layer over the malt without masking the character of the distillery. Bottling at cask strength without chill filtration keeps the whisky's natural oils and texture intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chocolate and citrus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith water:\u003c\/strong\u003e Much creamier and sweeter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nine months in first-fill PX.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tri Carragh (Stravaig Spirits), Tamnavulin Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt Scotch Whisky, single cask, cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314 bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 years (distilled Aug 2011, bottled 2024)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 113.6 proof (56.8% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak cask, finished 9 months in a first-fill PX hogshead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat with a few drops of water.
