Tamdhu
Speyside single malt whiskies impress at
the World Whiskies Awards.
 Tamdhu
has scooped four World Whiskies Awards
for its exclusively sherry cask matured
Speyside single malt whisky.
Often recognised by whisky drinkers
as a pointer to which whiskies are worth
seeking out and trying yourself it is no
surprise that each year the World
Whiskies Awards grow in popularity
across the globe and have become one of
the biggest and most respected
authorities in the whisky industry.
The Speyside distillery had two Category
Winners in the Single Cask, Single Malt
Scotch Category with its Edinburgh
Airport European Sherry Oak Single Cask
coming out on top of the ‘13 to 20
Years’ grouping and Sandy McIntyre’s
Single Cask clinching the win in the ‘No
Age Statement’ section.
Tamdhu also picked up two Gold
commendations in the Single Malt Scotch
Speyside category, with its Batch
Strength No. 004 and Dalbeallie II
expressions enjoying success in the ‘No
Age Statement’ division.
Sandy McIntyre, Tamdhu Distillery
Manager, said: "We’re delighted to see
Tamdhu recognised for its quality by
such a highly regarded judging panel in
a well-respected industry competition.
"Our exclusively sherry cask matured
single malts are winning awards thanks
to the craft of the whole team at Tamdhu
Distillery, so I would like to send my
thanks and congratulations to them all."
Owned by family firm, Ian Macleod
Distillers, Tamdhu uses only Oloroso
sherry seasoned American and European
oak casks which they say gives 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
for up to 6 years before beginning their
journey to Scotland.
Tamdhu launched its first ever airport
exclusive cask in March 2019. This first
fill Oloroso sherry cask from Jerez, was
hand-picked by key members of the Duty
Free and Edinburgh Airport teams. The
oldest ever single cask released from
Tamdhu, it was chosen unanimously from a
shortlist of eight casks, with all
parties agreeing that it stood apart
from the selection of exceptional
whiskies.
Sandy McIntyre’s Single Cask saw the
distillery manager select a 2003
first-fill American oak oloroso Sherry
butt for his Single Cask vintage.
Bottled at 56.2% ABV without
chill-filtration, the whisky has been
matured for 15 years to deliver aromas
of raspberries, clotted cream, citrus,
banana, mint, spice and ginger nuts.
The fourth annual edition of its
multi-award-winning Batch Strength
series reflects Tamdhu’s commitment to
producing ‘only the best’ sherry cask
matured whisky. Bottled at 57.8% ABV,
Batch Strength No. 004 boasts a complex
richness, deep intensity and natural
colour having been matured in American
and European Oak Oloroso seasoned casks
from Spain’s Sherry Triangle.
Tamdhu’s limited edition Dalbeallie Dram
002 was launched at last year’s Spirit
of Speyside Whisky Festival.
Individually numbered and bottled at
cask strength 61.1% ABV, the Dalbeallie
Dram has been matured in European and
American Oak Oloroso seasoned casks from
the cooperages of Jerez in Spain,
reflecting Tamdhu’s commitment to
producing only the best sherry cask
matured whisky.
