Tamdhu Batch Strength Batch 007 / 57.5% / 0.7l
- In 2009 the Edrington Group, the owners of Tamdhu Distillery for over 100 years, mothballed the distillery. Just two years later the distillery was acquired by Ian Macleod Distillers and immediately resumed operation.
Product description
In 2009, the Edrington Group suspended production at Tamdhu Distillery.
The break did not last too long, two years later the plant was purchased by Ian Macleod Distillers (the same company that bought the Glengoyne distillery from Edrington Group) and distillation immediately resumed. The new owner focused on maturing in sherry casks, both American and European oak. In 2015, Tamdhu Batch Strength debuted and received excellent reviews. As we read in the official note, "its aromatic and flavor palette reflects the Victorian optimism of the first owners, who were passionate about creating the finest single malt." The seventh batch of Tamdhu Batch Strength presented here, containing whisky aged in Oloroso sherry casks, went on sale in July 2022.
Nose : distinct notes of sherry, vanilla pudding, sponge cake, toffee, pralines, dried figs and apricots, sultanas, cinnamon buns, cloves and oak.
Palate : sherry, toffee, raisins and sultanas, raspberries, apricots, honey-roasted nuts, milk chocolate, mulled wine spice and toasted oak.
Finish : quite long, with notes of dried figs and dates, caramel, milk chocolate, cinnamon and oak.
