Description

An official Tamdhu single malt, a 10 year old Speyside malt and bottled at 40%. Tamdhu, founded in 1897 by a group of blenders by the Spey at Knockando, is famed for its sherry cask whisky. Ian Macleod runs Tamdhu alongside Glengoyne and Rosebank.

It was drawn off copper pot stills fed by the Tamdhu Spring, for the full, fruity make that suits sherry maturation. Ex-Bourbon casks held the spirit, soft oak that lets the fruit lead. At this age the spirit is fresh and fruity, the sherry bright over orchard fruit. Spanish and American oak sherry casks build the layered Tamdhu profile. Sherry casks, both Spanish and American oak, define the modern Tamdhu. The name Tamdhu is Gaelic for little dark hill, and the architect was Charles Doig. The River Spey runs past the distillery on its way to the Moray coast. Ian Macleod runs Tamdhu alongside Glengoyne and Rosebank. Water is drawn from the Tamdhu Spring on the Speyside site.

At 40% it is clean and fruity. Ex-Bourbon oak gives vanilla, honey and orchard fruit. It is deep and fruity, the sherry and oak well matched. The finish is deep, waxy and spiced. This is a deep, fruity Speyside single malt.
