Tamdhu the
exclusively sherry cask matured Speyside
malt whisky picks up two top industry
accolades in The Scotch Whisky Masters
2019
Tamdhu, the exclusively sherry cask
matured Speyside single malt whisky has
made it a double after clinching two top
industry accolades in The Scotch Whisky
Masters 2019, a competition which aims
to find and reward the world’s finest
Scotch whiskies.
The sherried single malt picked up the
top Master Award in the ‘Single Malt:
Speyside – Aged 13-18 Years’ category
for its Tamdhu 15 Year Old and also
picked up a Gold Award in the ‘Single
Malt: Speyside – Super Premium’ category
for its Tamdhu Batch Strength 004,
Tamdhu only launched its new limited
annual release 15 Year Old earlier this
year to complement its collection in
domestic and travel retail markets
globally, bottled at 46% ABV, non-chillfiltered
and natural colour, Tamdhu 15 Year Old
has been matured in American and
European Oak Oloroso seasoned casks.
After 15 years in these casks, the
result they say is a complex and rich
single malt whisky that delivers a nose
of apple pastry, spiced currants and
orange zest with notes of pineapple and
fennel. The palate delivers juicy
apricot and vibrant raspberry, with
lemon tart and almonds. The finish is a
rewardingly long journey through malt
biscuit, cream sherry and vanilla.
Launched in March, Tamdhu Batch Strength
004, bottled at 57.8%, is the fourth
edition in Tamdhu’s popular Batch
Strength Series. By its very nature,
each batch in the series is distinctive,
differs slightly in style and strength
and is bottled Non-chillfiltered.
Tamdhu Batch Strength 004 boasts a
complex richness, deep intensity and
natural colour which should please any
big sherried whisky fans. The scarce
wood of the sherry cask bears two great
gifts; colour and taste. The deep copper
hue of Tamdhu Batch Strength 004 is
developed by the oak cask, nothing more
– and each drop owes its rich, complex
taste to its Oloroso cask home.
Commenting on the latest award success
for Tamdhu, Sandy McIntyre, Tamdhu
Distillery Manager said: "It’s brilliant
to see the exceptional quality of Tamdhu
recognised by another well-respected
industry competition. We’re extremely
proud of our exclusively sherry cask
matured single malt and we’re delighted
to see Tamdhu 15 Year Old and Tamdhu
Batch Strength 004 have been so well
received by the judging panel."

and has a RRP of £84.99 per bottle. The
