Description

An official Tamdhu single malt and bottled at 61%. The outturn was 1000 bottles. Set in Knockando, Speyside, Tamdhu has distilled since 1897. Ian Macleod runs Tamdhu alongside Glengoyne and Rosebank.

The spirit was made in copper stills and filled into sherry seasoned oak, for a fragrant, fruity spirit with weight for the cask. An Oloroso sherry cask wrapped the malt in dried fruit and a nutty depth. 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. 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. 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.

At a natural 61% it is full and rich. The Oloroso brings a rich, sherried fruitiness. It is deep and fruity, the sherry and oak well matched. A warming, sherried finish lingers. This is a deep, fruity Speyside single malt.
