Tamnavulin: the ultimate bang-for-your-buck malt? With a production capacity of well over 4 million litres per annum, the Tamnavulin Distillery had enough whisky available to start growing drastically. And so it did. It has become THE fastest growing single malt in the world, creeping up to the top 10 of them. Who would have thought…
