Tamdhu: a classic Speyside story

Founded in 1897 on the banks of the River Spey by assemblers, Tamdhu was designed by the famous architect Charles Doig, who has gone down in history for his recognizable pagodas (Doig Ventilators).

Buoyed by the effervescence of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, a substantial sum was raised (around £20 million today). This financial windfall was used to build a state-of-the-art distillery.

Like many distilleries, it went through quiet periods, producing no whiskies between 1928 and 1948. Tamdhu's revival was nevertheless fruitful, gradually increasing its production capacity until the 1970s, when Single Malt appeared (an 8-year-old in 1976).

More recently, while Tamdhu was owned by the Edrington Group (Highland Park and Macallan), it was mothballed again in 2009. Two years later, Ian MacLeod Distillers (owner of Glengoyne) took over, before a Tamdhu 10-Year-Old was released in 2013.

A rebirth in sherry casks

Since its takeover by Ian MacLeod Distillers, Tamdhu has strived to offer a consistent range, with bottles in a unique Victorian style.

In addition to the 10yo, there's a Tamdhu Batch Strentgh and, of course, limited editions such as Tamdhu 10yo in first-fill sherry casks.

This is just a starting point, of course, and new, older releases are expected to follow. Read less
