TAMDHU - 12 years - 43% ABV
The Tamdhu Distillery is an iconic distillery in the Speyside region, located in the charming village of Knockando, in the heart of Banffshire, Scotland. Its name, Tamdhu, originates from Gaelic meaning "little dark hill," perfectly reflecting its unique terroir and traditional craftsmanship.
Founded in 1896 by a group of passionate blenders eager to create their own whisky, Tamdhu distillery produced its first malt whisky in 1897. Quickly integrated into the Highland Distillers group, it has endured through time with a peaceful history, despite a prolonged inactivity period between 1927 and 1947. Notably, its production capacity significantly increased, tripling between 1972 and 1975.
In April 2010, a major turning point occurred when Tamdhu distillery, then owned by Highland Distillers, a subsidiary of the prestigious Edrington group, temporarily closed its doors. However, in June 2011, it was acquired by Ian MacLeod Distillers, who successfully relaunched Single Malt production in May 2013. Today, Tamdhu whisky is mainly incorporated into globally recognized blends such as The Famous Grouse, J&B, or Cutty Sark, attesting to its exceptional quality.
Under the current ownership of Ian MacLeod, the Tamdhu range has been enriched with a flagship bottling: a 12-year-old Single Malt, matured entirely in sherry casks, guaranteeing rich and complex aromas.
