We've slowed things down a little, with the third release in our 15th Anniversary series bottled exclusively by Berry Bros & Rudd. This 2008 vintage Tamdhu is a classy Speysider with additional time spent in a Moscatel cask adding some some wonderful character and finesse to the celebrations. Distilled in our first year of business, 2008 then laid to rest in cask until June 2022. Transferred into a luscious Moscatel cask for around a year, then filled to bottle in June 2023. Like ourselves, it has been matured for 15 years in total with only 126 bottles filled at natural cask strength, 61.9% vol.
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
This classy Speysider shows a perfect balance of distillate and wood. Initially aromas of spiced gingerbread, Belgium waffle and sweet clove rock emerge, before complexity builds ripe orchard fruits, jaffa casks and tinned pineapple develop with time.
Palate
The palate shows a wonderful clean Moscatel character, with more sticky ginger bread, ripe apple, honeycomb and marzipan rolling round the palate. A little water shows deeper dried fruits and baking spice.
Finish
A long finish brings rich Dundee Cake and the suggestion of wood smoke. A rich, fulfilling and complex dram, ideal to unwind while contemplating the fifteen long years it's taken to accomplish such a feat.
