TAMDHU DISTILLERY ~ TAMDHU DISTILLERY

Until Macallan joined the Highland distillers group, that company’s principal bottled Speyside malt was Tamdhu.  Both of these malts, along with Glenrothes, are important Speyside elements in a proposed Vintage Malt whisky from The Famous Grouse (and, of course, blends under that name).  Since 1997-98, Tamdhu has also played an important role in the Dunhill blends.

It is to be hoped that Tamdhu, a mild, urbane whisky, leaning towards sweetness, is not in future overlooked as a single malt.  The distillery is in the heart of Speyside, between Knockando and Cardhu.  It was founded in 1896, and largely rebuilt in the 1970s.  Water comes from the Tamdhu burn, which flows through woodland into the Spey.

Tamdhu has a sizable and impressive Saladin maltings, providing for all its own needs and those of several other whisky makers.  A modest reminder of this is the stylized ear of barley that appears on the label of the principal version of Tamdhu.  The distillery is impeccably well kept, and has its own touches of tradition, notably its enthusiasm for wooden fermenting vessels.

HOUSE STYLE
Mild, urbane.  Sometimes toffee-nosed.  Versatile.
