The history of Tamnavulin began in 1966 when the distillery was opened in the rural village of Tomnavoulin in Scotland. The name Tamnavulin is the Gaelic translation of "mill on the hill", named among other things after the former carding mill on the site.
After closing in 1995, the distillery reopened in 2007 after extensive renovation. Since then, Tamnavulin has been producing single malt whiskies with typical Speyside character: rich, smooth and mellow.
