Tamdhu Distillery

Tamdhu Cask of Distinction III

ABV: 48% 70 cL

This bottle is true whisky dedication, a celebration of American Oak sherry cask maturation from beginning to end. Quercus Alba Distinction begins its journey in the oak forests of North America, before being imported into Spain where these casks are carefully crafted in the ‘sherry triangle’ over the course of six years.

The staves are left to air dry in the Mediterranean sun before being assembled and toasted by experienced coopers. Finally, the Oloroso sherry seasoning takes place, before the casks travel to Tamdhu.

Over time, our vibrant new-make spirit combines with the American Oak sherry cask to deliver rich fruity flavours and a wonderful natural amber colour.

Bottled at natural colour and no chill filtration.

Nose

Shortbread dipped in vanilla cream, oak, citrus and peppermint.

Palate

Rich, soft oak coats the mouth – giving way to plums and chocolate limes.

Finish

Unshakeable sherried oak fades to dried cherries and honeycomb.

£72.00

Tamdhu Distillery, established in 1897 on the banks of the River Spey, is a Speyside malt maker defined by its unwavering commitment to sherry cask maturation. After being revived in 2011, Tamdhu rebuilt its identity around using exclusively sherry-seasoned oak from Spain, giving its whisky a rich profile full of dried fruit, vanilla, toasted nuts, and subtle spice. Long fermentation and slow distillation create a clean, malty spirit that takes particularly well to European and American oak sherry casks. With its Victorian heritage, distinctive pagoda roofs, and a flavour style rooted firmly in sherry-led depth, Tamdhu stands out as one of Speyside’s most characterful and classically indulgent distilleries.
