Tamdhu Distinction Limited Release No 3 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48%

Tamdhu Distinction Limited Release No 3 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48%

This new limited edition celebrates the unique qualities of first-fill American oak sherry cask maturation. Quercus Alba Distinction starts in North American oak forests, then moves to Spain, where the casks are crafted in the ‘sherry triangle’ over six years.

The staves air dry in the Mediterranean sun before being assembled and toasted by skilled coopers. Oloroso sherry then seasons the casks before they travel to Tamdhu. Over time, their vibrant new-make spirit mingles with the American Oak sherry cask, creating rich fruity flavors and a beautiful natural amber color.

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Whisky excellence does not happen by accident. In 1897, a group of like-minded entrepreneurs came together with a shared ambition – to dedicate themselves to creating the finest whisky in the world.

From the very first moment, everyone involved in Tamdhu had the same mind-set – excellence must be achieved. And so, it began. The finest distillery architect and engineer of the day, Charles C Doig ESQ, was enlisted. The flawless location by the banks of the River Spey was acquired. The most advanced techniques were chosen. And the perfect sherry casks from Spain were selected. The stage was set.

For over 100 years, whisky perfection was produced. However, in 2010 outside pressures forced the distillery to close its doors. But all was not lost just yet.

In January of 2012, the determination of Ian Macleod Distillers saw the Tamdhu Distillery doors open once more. Inspired by the founders’ dedication to one style; 100% sherry cask oak matured, the
family enterprise returned the distillery to its former glory, using the same processes and passion for sherry maturation as the founders had before them.
