Its ubiquity also resulted in distilleries appending the name to their own. The irony of this is that until 1965 there was only one distillery in the glen of the River Livet - The Glenlivet. Tamnavulin was the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagenav js-fixed\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a large plant whose sign rather baldly states ‘NO VISITORS’ rather than ‘WELCOME’. This is not unfriendliness, simply a manifestation of the reality of the whisky business. In fact, there used to be a visitor facility nearby. The majority of distilleries are there to make spirit for blends, not to entertain tourists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts half dozen stills are large, the fermentation short and the make is light and cereal accented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamnavulin was one of the distilleries built in the whisky boom of the early 1960s when demand was so far outstripping supply that new facilities had to be constructed. It was built by Invergordon Distillers (whose portfolio also included a grain distillery, Bruichladdich, Tullibardine and Jura). It had six stills and, for a period, Saladin maltings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvergordon was in turn bought by Whyte and Mackay In 1995, with the whisky market in steady decline, it was mothballed, only reopening in 2007 when Whyte \u0026amp; Mackay was purchased by Indian giant United Spirits. Its function as a supplier of fillings however hasn’t altered. It changed hands once again in 2014 when Whyte \u0026amp; Mackay was sold to Philippine-based Emperador.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamnavulin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55443040371013,"sku":"TAMN1090SMINI","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/Photoroom_20250331_121942.jpg?v=1755795066","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/tamnavulin-glenlivet-10-year-old-speyside-single-malt-scotch-whisky-1990s-5cl-miniature","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
