Tamdhu 10 Year Old Whisky

16 May 2013

Tamdhu was bought by Ian Macleod Distillers in 2012.

The new Tamdhu is just stunning.

Only the finest ex Sherry casks are ever used to age the ‘Can-Dhu-Spirit’ that embodies Tamdhu
Our owner – Edward Robertson – was at the launch of this ‘Can Do’ whisky, and even he was impressed!

Tasting notes:
Nose – the softness of vanilla and sugared almonds, balanced by fresh oak and cinnamon.
Palate – bursting with fruit and spice – gently yielding to toffee and the richness of sherry oak
Finish – fruit and vanilla linger, becoming pleasantly drying – finally unveiling the meerest of peat smoke.

a mighty fine dram.
