Description

An official Tamdhu single malt, drawn from cask Batch 007 and bottled at 57.5%. Tamdhu, first built in 1897 by a blending consortium in Knockando, Speyside, is famed for its sherry cask whisky. 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. Maturation in Oloroso sherry laid fig and raisin over the spirit. Without an age statement, the malt is rich, fruity and sherried. First fill Oloroso casks drive the rich, dried fruit character Tamdhu is known for. Water is drawn from the Tamdhu Spring on the Speyside site. 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. Tamdhu sits among the great sherried Speysiders, a sister to Macallan in style.

Undiluted at 57.5%, it is layered. The Oloroso brings dried fruit, fig and a nutty depth. A dried fruit and a nutty oak give it real depth. The finish is deep, waxy and spiced. This is a dried fruit rich Speyside malt.
