More smoke than I expected on the nose with just a hint of vanilla and apple pie spice? More smoke and cinnamon on the palate. The finish is sweet and peppery. This blended whiskey delivers above its price range. The second sip, this whiskey has completely changed: the nose becomes butterscotch, vanilla, and green apples. The palate is sweeter and smoother. The finish remains peppery.

Tamnavulin Red Wine Cask Edition (Spanish Grenache Cask Finish)
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed June 17, 2020Red fruits and a bit of honey on the nose. Smooth jam and sweet custard on the palate. The lingering finish is peppery. -
A heavy amount of peat on the nose, reminds me of BBQ’s and the smell of clothes after a long weekend camping... with something else just below the smoke which I can’t quite name. Sweet cardamum, vanilla, and pepper on the palate gives way to a smokey and a bit bitter of a finish. Very good for a blended whiskey at this price point. I wasn’t expecting the peat to be as heavy as some other Islay whiskeys. -1 star: After the first day this whiskey has lost more and more of it’s peat smell. It was the best when first opened and doesn’t keep well.

Tamnavulin Sherry Cask Edition
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed April 25, 2020 (edited January 28, 2021)Lots of raisins, some salty sea, and sherry perfume on the nose. Sweet caramel and vanilla on the palate with a wisp of smoke that gives way to ginger and orange peel as a finish. A smooth dram with little nooks and crannies of flavors to go exploring in. A decent budget whiskey, if also a bit watery. I would buy it again as a daily dram. On second sip, there’s more vanilla, caramel, and chocolate smells and flavors come through and the sherry perfume goes away. -
Teacher's Highland Cream
Blended — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed April 9, 2020 (edited November 15, 2020)Light peat smoke on the nose, vanilla, and lemon peel. Smooth sweet peat on the palate. Vanilla and pepper in the finish. A pretty easy to drink neat scotch. At the price point, I think I like it better than regular Famous Grouse. [I’ve upped my star rating by +1 as the bottle didn’t last too long. So I must have enjoyed it!] -
Dried fruits and nuts on the nose. The palate is dried oranges and a hint of chocolate. The finish is short, but peppery. At this price point I’m extremely surprised at its high quality. On the second sip, the nose really opens up with chocolate and vanilla which carries through to the palate.299.0 SEK per Bottle
