Description
A distillery bottling of Tamdhu, a 14 year old release and bottled at 43%. Set in Knockando, Speyside, Tamdhu has distilled since 1897. Tamdhu ran the last Saladin box maltings in Scotland, the boxes still standing on site.
The spirit was made in copper stills and filled into sherry seasoned oak, for a fragrant, fruity spirit with weight for the cask. A sherry butt held it, the wood lending raisin and walnut. Mid age brings a deeper sherry and a riper dried fruit note. Long ageing turns the orchard fruit towards fig, raisin and a warm spice. The Spey valley's cool air gives a slow, even maturation in the warehouses. Tamdhu was built in 1897 by a consortium of blenders led by William Grant. The arrival of the Strathspey railway in the 1860s made the distillery possible. For decades its malt fed blends such as the Famous Grouse and Cutty Sark. Mothballed in 2010, the distillery was revived by Ian Macleod and relaunched in 2013.
At 43% it is smooth and sherried. The Oloroso brings raisin, orchard fruit and a warm spice. The texture is rich and rounded, the fruit lifted by sherry. A warming, sherried finish lingers. This is a rich, sherried Speyside single malt.
