Description
An official Tamdhu single malt, drawn from cask Batch 3 and bottled at 53.8%. Established in 1897 by the Spey at Knockando, Tamdhu is a sherry led Speyside malt. 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. Maturation in Oloroso sherry laid fig and raisin over the spirit. Without an age statement, the malt is rich, fruity and sherried. Spanish and American oak sherry casks build the layered Tamdhu profile. 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.
Bottled at a cask strength 53.8%, it is intense. The Oloroso brings dried fruit, nuts and a soft spice. It is deep and fruity, the sherry and oak well matched. The finish runs rich, nutty and spiced. This is a deep, fruity Speyside single malt.
