A bright, spirit-driven Tamdhu matured in an ex-bourbon barrel, showcasing a fresher and more fruit-forward profile than the distillery’s traditional sherry style.
The nose opens with crisp green apple, ripe pear and white peach, layered with vanilla pod, honeycomb and light caramel from the American oak. Subtle citrus zest and soft floral notes bring lift and elegance.
On the palate, the spirit shows clean Speyside character — orchard fruits, lemon curd and hints of pineapple — balanced by creamy vanilla, toasted coconut and gentle oak spice. The texture is smooth and polished, with sweetness integrated rather than heavy.
The finish is medium and refined, carrying vanilla fudge, almond, soft white pepper and fresh fruit sweetness.

For your April 2022 ex-bourbon cask, this background supports a narrative of:
A quality Speyside distillery with strong maturation credentials and growing premium positioning — offering solid long-term maturation potential.
Founded in 1897, Tamdhu sits on the banks of the River Spey in the heart of Speyside. The distillery was originally established by a consortium of whisky blenders who wanted a reliable, high-quality malt for their blends — a testament to the spirit’s consistency and weight from the outset.
Today, Tamdhu is owned by Ian Macleod Distillers, who repositioned the brand as a premium single malt with a strong focus on maturation quality.
Water source: Tamdhu Spring (fed from underground springs near the River Spey)
Still shape: Tall copper stills contributing to a refined, lighter spirit
Capacity: Approx. 4 million litres annually
