Tasted as Day 19 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2023. Every day is a new adventure with a blind tasting, where we each try to guess the country of origin, the type and age of the whisk(e)y, the ABV, and the type of barrel/cask used for maturation, followed by a reveal at 9PM. This single-cask whisky was distilled at Tamnavulin in June 2010, matured in a refill ex-bourbon hogshead, and bottled by independent bottler, Distiller's Art, in 2022. There were 298 bottles in the release. Photo courtesy of First Fill Spirits (Saratoga Springs, NY).
