Description
A Tamdhu single malt, selected and bottled by Hunter Laing, a 15 year old from 2007, drawn from cask HL 19132 and bottled at 50%. Just 775 bottles were filled. Tamdhu was opened in 1897 in Knockando, Speyside; it once ran the last Saladin box maltings in Scotland. Mothballed in 2010, the distillery was revived by Ian Macleod, who relaunched the single malt in 2013.
The spirit was made in copper stills and filled into sherry seasoned oak, for a fragrant, fruity spirit with weight for the cask. Sherry seasoned oak gave the dried fruit richness Tamdhu is known for. Around the mid teens the malt gains a fuller dried fruit over the orchard fruit. First fill Oloroso casks drive the rich, dried fruit character Tamdhu is known for. The distillery was built on a spot once known for illicit distilling. A full, fruity spirit gives Tamdhu the weight to carry active sherry wood. An in house cooperage was set up in 2019 to manage its sherry casks.
At cask strength 50% it is rich and full. The Oloroso brings a fruity, sherried depth. The texture is rich and rounded, the fruit lifted by sherry. A warming, sherried finish lingers. This is a dried fruit rich Speyside malt.
