Tamnavulin
appoint Leon Webb as the new distillery
manager.
Tamnavulin distillery which sits on
the southern edge of Speyside, in the
foothills of the Cairngorm Mountains has
announced the appointment of a new
Distillery Manager, Leon Webb.
Leon is an experienced whisky maker who
joined the distilling team at Tamnavulin
this May after returning to his native Scotland
following a period of five years in
Canada, working as Master Distiller and
Blender for the well-respected Shelter
Point Distillery on Vancouver Island,
B.C.
Originally from Aviemore in the Scottish
Highlands, Leon graduated with an MSc in
Brewing and Distilling from Heriot-Watt
University in Edinburgh, before
embarking on his distilling career in
both Scotland and Canada, producing a
number of award-winning liquids.
Tamnavulin today produces one of the
world’s fastest growing single malt
whiskies and Leon joins an established
whisky making team including
Tamnavulin's Distiller Sam
Douglas and Blender Kirsty Hodge, who
has been working closely with the
distillery in recent years, as part of
the wider Whyte & Mackay Distilling
Team, which is headed up by Master
Whisky Maker and Blender Gregg Glass.
Shane Healey, Distillery Director at
Whyte & Mackay, said: "Leon will be a
fantastic addition to Tamnavulin and our
Distilling Team. I am confident he will
build on all the great work already done
at the distillery and make a great
contribution to the extraordinary growth
of the Tamnavulin brand around the
world. Leon joins Tamnavulin at an
exciting time, fresh after the Spirit of
Speyside Festival."
The single malt brand was brought back
to life in 2016 as a quintessential
signature Speyside malt whisky. The
fruit-forward liquids produced are all
double-matured and enhanced through wine
cask finishes, released at an affordable
price point.
Numerous award wins later – coupled with
a rapid growth in demand from consumer
and trade alike have quickly established
Tamnavulin as a leading example of
quality Speyside whisky - testament to a
distillery and whisky making team that
will be further bolstered by Leon’s
experience.
Tamnavulin recently announced the
addition of a White Wine Cask Edition to
its core range, building on the
popularity of the brand’s Red Wine Cask
Editions.
You will find Tamnavulin's current core
range of single malt whiskies available
from most supermarkets as well as from specialist online whisky retailers
such as
The Whisky Exchange,
Amazon
and
Master of Malt
