Tamnavulin/Glenlivet 25 yr – Stillman’s Dram

About This Competition

The Stillman’s Dram is a now-discontinued bottling series from the 1990’s by Whyte & Mackay. The series was known for its premium range of limited editions which showcased impressive age-statements from the  Whyte & Mackay distillery portfolio, which at the time included Jura, Dalmore and Bruichladdich. This rather collectible dram is a 25 Year Old Tamnavulin, which would have been distilled sometime in the 1970’s.

Tamnavulin distillery was opened in 1966 by Invergordon Distillers in response to the increasing demands for their blends. Despite this, Invergordon Distillers were always interested in bottling their single malts, and Tamnavulin was no different. When Invergordon were bought over by Whyte & Mackay in 1995, the distillery was mothballed, but eventually re-opened in 2007. It now has a more prominent range for its single malt brand, and earlier distillery bottlings like this are becoming something of a rarity.

Only 1800 bottles were ever produced  & this one is bottle number 498. ABV – 45%
