Discover Tamdhu

Since 1897, Tamdhu has been dedicated to crafting exceptional single malt whisky using only Oloroso sherry oak casks. The distillery, designed by Charles C. Doig and built beside the River Spey, was founded on principles of excellence and innovation. Tamdhu 21 Year Old is matured in a combination of first fill and refill American and European oak sherry casks, sourced directly from Jerez, Spain. This long maturation brings a balance of sweetness and dryness, with deep sherry oak richness unfolding across the palate. Revived in 2012 by Ian Macleod Distillers, Tamdhu continues to honour its founders’ legacy, producing whisky with integrity, patience, and a singular focus on sherry cask perfection.
