Tamdhu
release a limited edition 18 Year Old, a
combination of American Oak Oloroso cask
and European Oak Oloroso cask matured
whisky.
 The
offerings from Tamdhu distillery
continue to mature under the management
of Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd who took
over the running of the Speyside
distillery back in 2011, they have just
announced the release of the latest
addition to its 100% sherry cask matured
collection, a Tamdhu 18 Year Old
expression.
Those of you familiar with Tamdhu single
malt whisky released under Ian Macleod
Distillers will already know that it has
only been matured in Oloroso Seasoned
Sherry Casks sourced from Spain, so when
a small selection of these fine casks
came of age, the good folks at Tamdhu
thought the time was right for the
distillery to bring them together to
craft a very limited 18 Year Old
release.
Combining American Oak Oloroso and
European Oak Oloroso casks, the 18 Year
Old unites Tamdhu’s signature fruity
spirit and 18 long years of full-term
sherry maturation to deliver what they
say is layers of
indulgent flavour and a deep natural
colour which reflects the quality of the
oak.
They have bottled the Tamdhu 18 at what
should be a flavoursome 46.8% ABV,
non-chill filtered and naturally
coloured.
Sandy McIntyre, Tamdhu Distillery
Manager, said: "Tamdhu has rightfully
earned a reputation for producing the
very best sherry matured whiskies, so
crafting, bottling, and launching our 18
Year Old will go down as a true career
highlight.
"The entire distillery team has an
innate understanding of the Tamdhu
sherry maturation process – so we
selected a combination of casks that
deliver a truly special drinking
experience, befitting such an important
age statement."
Gordon Dundas, Tamdhu Global Brand
Ambassador, said: "Across our entire
range, we are dedicated to full term
maturation in the very best Oloroso
Sherry Casks. The combination of both
American and European oak casks results
in two distinct styles, which we combine
to show the amazing character of this
fantastic distillery.”
The release of the Tamdhu 18 Year Old
comes during a celebration year for the
brand, celebrating its 125th
anniversary. Since 1897, Tamdhu has
earned and reinforced its reputation as
one of Speyside's most meticulously
crafted liquids due to its relationship
with Spain’s sherry cask cooperages and
bodegas, and the incredible casks
created there.
Dundas added: "It’s apt that such a
ceremonial age statement – the 18 – is
unveiled during the brand’s 125th
anniversary. We’ve had well over a
century of dedication to craftsmanship,
and the launch of this exquisite dram
paves the way for the years to come.”
Tamdhu will open its doors to the public
for the Spirit of Speyside Whisky
Festival – with tours, tastings, and a
luxury ‘Spain to Speyside’ experience.
As part of the 125th anniversary
celebrations, visitors to the distillery
will be among the first to try the 18
Year Old. Tickets are available to
purchase from the Spirit of Speyside
website.
The Tamdhu 18 Year Old has a RRP of
£139.99 RRP, the 18-Year-Old will be
available from specialist online whisky retailers such
as
The Whisky Exchange,
