2021, the Speyside distillery known for
its sherry cask matured single malt
whisky has scooped a ‘Category Winner’
for the third consecutive year at the
prestigious World Whiskies Awards (WWA)
2021.
In the initial results of WWA 2021, the
Speyside whisky maker was announced as
‘Category Winner’ in the ‘Single Cask,
Single Malt Scotch category’ thanks to
their Tamdhu Iain Whitecross
Single Cask 5892 Vintage 2003'
expression which was selected by Iain
Whitecross (Tamdhu Assistant Distillery
Manager), it was distilled on the 19th
November 2003 when it was filled to a
First Fill European Sherry Butt then
bottled in March 2020.
No stranger to success, in 2019 Tamdhu
scooped the ‘Best Single Cask Single
Malt Scotch’ with its Distillery Team
Edition, this was then followed in 2020
when their Sandy McIntyre (Distillery
Manager) Single Cask expression was
awarded the ‘World’s Best Single Cask
Single Malt’.
In the wake of this latest announcement,
Tamdhu has now been crowned as a WWA
Single Cask, Single Malt Scotch Category
Winner for the third year running.
Commenting on the accolade, Sandy
McIntyre, Tamdhu Distillery Manager,
said: "We’re always delighted to see
Tamdhu recognised for its quality –
especially by such a prestigious and
well-respected judging panel.
"Our exclusively sherry cask matured
single malts win awards thanks to the
craft and commitment of everyone at the
distillery. Congratulations to the
entire team and a special mention for
Iain Whitecross, as it is testament to
his service at Tamdhu to win such an
important industry accolade with his
incredible debut single cask."
The Iain Whitecross Single Cask award
winning dram is said to have notes of
deep toffee on the nose, accompanied by
milk chocolate, hazelnut, peach, and
vanilla. On the palate, a wonderful
contrast of rich truffle, sharp zesty
orange and warming cinnamon. The finish
brings crème caramel, soft oak, wine
gums and – of course – unstoppable
sherry.
Owned by family firm, Ian Macleod
Distillers, Tamdhu uses only the best
Oloroso sherry seasoned American and
European oak casks giving the
award-winning single malt its natural,
dark amber colour, intense richness on
the palate and its deep, long finish.
Tamdhu exclusively matures in sherry
seasoned casks, which are crafted in the
family cooperages and bodegas of Jerez,
Spain for up to 6 years before beginning
their journey to Scotland.
