The Tamdhu 12 year old is produced by the Tamdhu Distillery, which is located in the Speyside region of Scotland. The distillery was founded in 1897 and specializes in the production of single malt Scotch whiskies, which are primarily known for their maturation in high-quality sherry casks. Tamdhu is part of Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd, a family-run company that owns and operates a variety of whisky brands. Ian Macleod Distillers acquired Tamdhu Distillery in 2011 and has since reinvigorated the production of high quality whiskies, with a particular focus on traditional production methods and the exclusive use of Oloroso sherry casks.
The Tamdhu 12 year old matures exclusively in ex-Oloroso sherry casks, which gives it its characteristic fruity and spicy notes. These casks come from the best regions of Spain and contribute significantly to the rich, dark color and full-bodied taste of the whisky. Tamdhu uses only the best ingredients and traditional methods, making the whisky an outstanding representative of the Speyside tradition. The whisky is bottled without chill-filtration, which gives it a natural texture and a more intense taste experience. The Tamdhu 12 year old is an ideal companion for quiet evenings or special occasions and is perfect to enjoy on its own, but can also be enjoyed with a few drops of water or on ice.
The whisky impresses with a luscious nose of dried fruit, raisins and raisins, accompanied by rich notes of vanilla and toasted almonds. A hint of spice and orange peel adds a subtle complexity. A velvety texture unfolds on the palate, rich with sherry notes, complemented by caramel, dark chocolate and nutty flavors. The sweetness of honey and a hint of spicy cinnamon provide a harmonious balance. The finish is long, warm and pleasantly sweet, characterized by a mixture of dark fruits, oak and a light spiciness.
